Old Faithful
Don’t you remember me?
 I have been with you every waking moment.
 I am the one to whom all your secrets were told.
 
 I comforted you when you cried
 I listened while you ranted
 I was your closure when everything was wrong
 
 I heard of your first day and kiss
 I felt your anguish after deaths
 I was with you through these tough years
 
 Now you are leaving and I sit in a messy pile
 Surrounded by boxes of memories and comforts
 I await the gentle touch of your hands as you place me in a safe box
 
 I pray you won’t forget me
 As you make a new start
 Just pile me in and start the car
 
 As you start to depart, your mother runs out
 She hands me to you, receives one last teary-eyed hug,
 And you pile me in and start the car.
