For The Prendergast Family

Thank you,

For all you've done.

For being family,

For not leaving me alone.



Clair, you're a sister.

Daniel, you're a brother.

Nolain, you're second mother.

And you'll always be that, forever.



And now I'm going away,

Oh, so far!

But if I can't visit,

You can bet that there'll be war.



After nearly five years,

You'd think that I'd be settled.

Just know that this could not be helped,

I said this as my voice quivered.



In the treasure chest of my heart,

That's where you'll be,

And that's where you'll stay,

For you've captured one of my few keys.



P stands for pleasure, patience, and pure love.

But also for parting paths, pacing, and packing.

I'll watch the stars above,

Never blinking.

Hoping that you're doing the same.
