Safe Trip Sam

My baby left

on the midnight flight

It was all rush and go

and I never feel 

like I say enough goodbyes.

Like, you never know.

That final hug, squeeze,

Steal the last glance,

he gives me that special smile,

there on the 5 minute drop off,

eye to eye, look away,

good bye. Look back.

Smile together.

Click, snapshot in my mind.

Cars,

Head lights,

blinkers flashing,

the security guard 

looks my way.

Step back, away,

I take him in

one last time.

Car door,

waving through the sun roof,

looking back,

going, going, gone.
