: My Son Left Today by Sixteezkid
Quatrain Poetry contest entry
For Ryan



My son left today
For his home far away
Flying free above the land
While I hold on...a mother's way

My son left a strand
Of his wit, so deadpanned
Laughter filling us with joy
Now feel the void, like steps in sand

My son left his "Oi"!
Australian, that's my boy
With that grin and a "G'day"
We reminisced of Illinois

My son left today
He'll be back, we all say
As he saunters with a sway
We holler out an old cliche...
