You'd Be Proud, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet On FB and brianrrs27 on Twitter.)
You'd be proud mom
I conquered my fear
Got on that plane
To visit my friend in the southern hemisphere
You'd be proud
I finally made the trip
To visit the land down under
To visit my best frriend
Though you only talked to him
Only on skype
After 16 years
Though you're not alive
I know you;d be smiling
Knowing your second son
Whom gave me friendship
When you were down
We never got
To be in the same place
But you'd be proud
Of all of it
The plane touched down
In Brisbane
First thing I did
Went to the nursing home
Saw Bob there
Face to face
Reminded me of visiting you
Every day
The joy of seeing you
The pain of knowing
That getting old
Can't be avoided
His smile as wide
As the Pacific Ocean
The one I crossed
Scared and frozen
Terrified of flying
I still did it
To meet your second son
You'd be proud I did it
I know mom
We never sat at Sunrise
Bacon and eggs
Coffee and laughs
I know it's not
The same room for us three
But I know of this
You;d be happy to see
The most bittersweet
Of this all
Not long for this world
Is my friend Bob
I hate this planet
And it's size
That kept us away
All this time
I wish it true
In a parallel universe
You were not dead
And Bob were healthy
That we'd been together
At the same time
But down under
Is were all will arive
You'd be proud mom
I can imagine the hug
Strong embrace
You'd give Bob
