Have To Leave You

If asked to move an Ocean
I'd move it just one inch
If asked to move a mountain

Buoyancy, Haughtiness , jagged mistrust to name a few ,that grabbed a cradle to rock in as you saved through out this mission. So full so truthful of this virtue that truly envisioned you in all your beauty as a writer/person
