Riding down the winding mountain trail
In an uncomfortable school bus

Listening to Stevie Wonder 
While laughing as we fall out of our seats
From the impact of each pothole

Dear ______ I am sorry.

Dear ______ I have hurt you and I don't know how to stop.

I say often that it is not hard to be kind,

Find your footing on the ground 

Solid, like you know who you are 

Watch it soar through the sky 

Like a broken piece of the sun 

Shooting up past the stars
