Departure is never a happy occasion
Yet permanence is never a reality
A kite's a kite only when let out to fly
Not kept in a cupboard, not left to fester
When the wind is mighty you'll fly far and free
Hanging on a rope tough as steel
I know you'll never fly too far from me
When the wind settles you'll fall back down
To let me catch you in my arms
I watch from below your magnificence
Your carefree spins, your floating tail
To watch you be the kite you are
Days may get gloomy, rain and lightning
But i'll never let go of the rope in my hands
Tattered and torn if you'd ever be
I'd nurse you well, i'd patch your rips
And then i'll watch you fly again
As i hold you by the other end
