NO FAVORABLE OUTCOME
i do not see a favorable outcome
i do NOT see a favorable outcome
i hear those words time and time as the options are discussed
the words are said kindly and with compassion
I DO NOT see a favorable outcome
I have a friend for almost 30 years
i dont say much to you over the years
he has heard everything
but there is no favorable outcome
i have taught so much
i have learned more
so much frustration, so much joy
but there is no favorable outcome
do you understand
possibly not, how can you
from his birth we have been together
through the joys of young curiosity
through the stuborness of age
i like a bit of stuborness it shows determination
but there is no favorable outcome
now there are only thoughts
pleasant, frustrated, happy, angry, loving
almost 30 years of thoughts
but TODAY there is no favorable outcome
i will miss you dearly Abu Bhar, lovingly know as Talib.
