CHANGED

 

I just got transferred

from the ocean to the country,

Long Branch, New Jersey

to Ephrata, Pennsylvania,

a retreat house to assisted living.

I just walked down to the water

to say, “Good bye – I haven’t

appreciated you in the 3 years

I was stationed here.

Sorry."

Will this remind me to feel the

missing and appreciate the next?
