To the Boy headed for the land of the butterflies

the tears begin,
i anticipate your departure.
yes, there are still a few months
but
knowing you have no reason to return
except
maybe for me
makes this knowledge all the much harder to take.

i am happy for you
i am.
you are too big for this town
too big to not make the move.
you are going to be--

so, i will take this consolation prize,
knowing you, before when.

privy to the boy
who will become the man

go and be merry
go and share with all the beauty that is you
go with all my blessings

go with all my heart and never look back.
