\"TheFinally I’ve found you\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Up on the distant shore\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now many miles behind me\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Seeming still not yet a chore\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So I won’t be discouraged\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And I won’t sit and pout\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll think of how you taught me\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That’s not what we’re about\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll listen for your whisper\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Or to feel your gentle touch\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Whether high up in the canopy\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Or deep down in the brush\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Searching hard to find you\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Or a magic treasure chest\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That contains a kind of genie \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Who grants a wish at my behest\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And if he might, and if there was\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I would not hesitate\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To ask of him for one more day\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then just one more to waste\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If I could have another sunrise\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d trade at least a thousand\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If I had to swim an ocean\u2019s length\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Or climb the grandest mountain\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d do it all and even more \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To show what you mean to me\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d do everything I can \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To be the man you hoped I\u2019d be\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From womb to rest you were my favorite\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I said I loved you most\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I boasted how we traveled so\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

About from coast to coast\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How you made a man who\u2019s honest\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then you showed him to be strong\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Yet it\u2019s better said than done\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When your best friend’s long and gone\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But looking back, if I could change things\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I might only change the sum\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of the quiet misty mornings\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Which await the cardinal\u2019s hum\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For even though I\u2019ve few regrets\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And I’d do the same again\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I can’t help but wave across the shore\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And remember when\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When skies seemed a little bluer\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When the grass just a brighter green\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When it seemed like we had the world\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Waiting to be seen\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So we’ll go along together now\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You there right by my side\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And when I hear the cardinal’s song\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my heart you will reside \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I wrote this poem, The Cardinal’s Song, in memory of Susan Sweeney, Nancy Sheehan and Karen Byrnes and would like to dedicate it to all those who have lost loved ones most dear to them. May this Holiday Season remind us all of what is most important in our lives, our family.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
