Dear Chancellor & Leslie –
The southernmost cornerstone
Of the best place in the world.
When I was a girl,
You were the center of my universe.
But my how time has made
My Olympus to fall.
A corner once gilded with love
Had all the paint chipped away
Revealing your abundant faults.
A changing of keys and of deeds,
And even a sad fire burning,
You’re smaller than I remember,
But everyday I ride past
And look to you still.
To the home borne of troubled souls
Hoping you still had him
Nestled in your bosom.
Knowing he’d be safer with you
Than braving the world alone.
