The day is wrong.
The mountain is dead
Little exaggeration
But it feels empty.
The roads we have run
Trails we have walked often
It is too quiet.
Upside down today
The day is leaving, like you
Days come around though.
Sun comes tomorrow
That’s good I guess, for the heat
Heart weight big today.
Change is tough, and dumb
But it’s good I hear, painful
And tears are not bad.
Streaked cheeks meant you love
To know how much, good thing,
I can imagine.
Mountain floats away
Isn’t anchored without you
But it will balance.
With a little time
A lot of time, memories
Stories in its earth.
Always missed, you all
You all have a hill, and hearts
With spaces waiting here.
You will find more hills
And mountains and trees; a home
Happy home you’ll have.
We will see you there
Six hours, road trip, coffee stops
Leave a light on late.
May goodness and fun
And fresh experiences
Brighten your new town.
We will text, phone, fax
And come visit, sometime soon
The mountain is sad.
It will be happy
Again, but today is wrong
Mountain’s not right.
The night will roll on
And the day will start again
New lives will begin.
Photos to be shot
Memories to be made lots
New discoveries.
This is sad, but not
It is, but it will dissolve
Into happiness.
But tonight, sad hill
You’re missed, loved, remembered lots
The day is wrong now.
A day askew, tears.
A mountain, real off balance
A moon, pale and sick.
The sun is coming
And winter too, it’s pretty
Thanks for the years, you.
Real good times, lots, yes
Equilibrium we’ll find
A new normal, yep.
Remember the years,
Sometimes remember; thank you
And we love you lots.
Nighty night, Joe peeps
May your slumber be peaceful
And your days real fine.
We’ll anchor things here
So the mountain is ready
When you come again.
The day sunshiney
The hill in place again firm
Always a light on.
So the day is wrong
But you are strong, so are we
Trying hard to be.
Happy we are, most
For your new fun times ahead
Best for you, the best.
The mountain is here
So are we; maybe halfway
We can meet someday?
Until then, say ‘onward!’
Best of all to you, the best
Do well, smile, eat lots.
We’ll see ya real soon
On mountain, or somewhere else
It’ll be real great.
With high affection
We send everything good
To you all, much love.
From our mountain high
To you in Joseph, your home
We love you so much.
