Do not abandon me,
O smile pressed on my lips
or surely my eyes will leak tears
barely held back by will
for here are friends
not seen for a long while
Their appearance dramatically changed
as if a cruel wind of fate
has blown over them
and left them bereft
of their previous selves
Skin hanging on bones
Legs that will not walk
Minds that lack recognition
Shock and sadness surface
The years have been more kind to me
I grasp at understanding why
Bar the door to pity
Let me see the life and joy
that lives still in their eyes
Stay with me, O smile
that I may walk forth
in Gratitude
