| The pool, the fight, and the forgiveness

Afraid of facing my past today
When I went out to splash with my kids.
Seeing the friends who used to be mine
While pretending that I don't mind
By being alone with the story in my hand
And the music in my ears.
My son was begging me
to talk to them and show him it's alright.
But how do i explain to his pleading eyes,
it will never be alright.
I gave him the strength to go out and play, as children often do
Forgiving the past with a hello and a splash.
Then for a moment I felt a peace when little arms wrapped around me in sweet and loving embrace
He said hi. I miss you. Watch me.
And I realized those were not the arms of my loving and forgiving son.
but of the friend he misses so much.
The world would be a much better place
if we could all play in the pool and end our arguements
With a hug.
A hi.
A splash.
And I miss you.
Thank you for showing me that peace...Z.
