I return to where I left

A place I once knew well

Some piece of me is still here

And it always will be

But I am not the same

It is not either

Some piece of me is no longer here

And it never will be

I remember people in this spot or that

I see familiar locations here and there

An introduction seems wrong

But it might be right

Words offer a message

With meaning and impact

With purpose and intent

Listeners will hear

Others will fear

Be honorable

There soon will be an answer

Maybe today, maybe tomorrow

We cannot know when

We do not know what it is

So always be ready
