Dear George


You came to be
as someone's wish
By a mind set in a time of chains
and impossibility; held in a place
that was not home, and when home no longer was.
you were a wish for freedom and the possibilities of life

Now, you have folded your life
in a circle unbroken from then to now
the struggles of today and dreams of better tomorrows

Again, it is time for life to end while dreams extend
a reach of love for those still here and so many more yet to come

we -the remainder of the world you knew-
will carry on, speak your name, and witness the birth
of new purpose; exalting a guiding star-

It is a time that sheds tears of loss
from eyes that hold visions of victory
