I poured out all my anger in a postcard from the Louvre.
By the time I toured Brussels my heart was angrier still;
When postcard number two was sent I had to take a pill.
In Athens, Vienna, and Caan, I wrote and stamped and mailed
Disappointments, accusations, and hurts that had prevailed.
Tears flowed down the Yangtze under dragon’s watchful eye,
Depression fed self-pity until I thought I’d die.
In the Valley of the Kings I saw how short my life could be,
So I swallowed pride, stepped aside and let the anger free.
The Wailing Wall was where I sent the very last postcard;
I repented, I forgave, and I apologized, though hard.
Never more would I be angry when the sun retreated west
To solve our problems quickly, I resolved to do my best.
If only he'd forgive me for my cruel selfishness.
What would he say? Would he be there? How could I make amends?
Homeward bound I wrote of love and sweetness in a poem.
But to my surprise, when I arrived, I'd beat the postcards home.
