For Veronica

not everyone gets to outlive their sins … a fate some regard as unkind … a life squandering everything and everyone just to discover he’s being thrown back into the grind


when there comes a day … we need that for which we pray … a memory struggling to get by … from inside long overdue just to say ‘hi’


where we are when all we have seen … gets us by in times most considered mean … we are all guilty of giving life one more daily shot … to remind us of each other is truly all we humans have got


somewhere there’s a little girl with eyes wide open only to her world … and everyday she does she need not worry about what was 


that is all anyone of her can truly ask


because one day when things become … less than the sum of everything we have done … it’s everyday we must do what is right only for you


that is all anyone can ask of you


so, from the boy with a broken nose … we’re going to find out where it goes … when it’s time for one of us to begin … a new life free of original sin
