Upon seeing my parents.

I don’t know what to say
I went to Utah to reunite
Went to see my family
I had spent months looking for a friend
But more than a friend
A companion but
More than a lover.
And never found him.
So I went home to Utah
To reunite with my family
And found them there;
Waiting for me to arrive.
My mother was there with all her love.
And I felt like a child again,
And maybe I shed a tear
That was the concentrated effect
Of thousands of tears held back
Missing her sweet face and lullaby.
And I reached for my father’s hand
But he responded with a hug-
Man to man, but so much love.
I am my father’s son.
I went to see my parents
And they made right
All the time we had spent apart
