Appa

With you

I learned that Man must shape his world

To keep the maddening chaos at bay.

To smile through the most relentless adversity,

for, Man will always find a way.

What a wonderful world you provided,

Guiding me and pointing out its wonder!

Now I must set about on this journey, smiling.

Of all the different worlds it will shape up to be, I'll remember

My world is fundamentally poorer

Without you.
