On The Next Trip

She will not be dismayed
Today, if the bus leaves
Without her,
That bus is full
There is still the next
Bus,
Now, An empty bus
A special trip
For her,
She demands
That no other rides on
This empty bus
Chartered
For the next trip
To nowhere
She must know
She must not
Be dismayed,

It is her
Last trip that she
Had long wished,

She expected you to
Understand, and
That you be not sad.
