Hello Friend

Hello Friend,
It is time we met once again. I know you don't remember me, but I
remember you. I remember your first steps. I remember when you learned
to fold a paper airplane. I drove you to school, and the time you had
trouble with math. All the others made fun of you. I was the one to
comfort you. I held you close, and told you it would be all right. I
wiped your tears away so you would not rust. I kept you wound until
you could wind yourself. When your heart spark went out I relit the
flame.
I am sorry I left you, but you had to grow up. A man made of tin who
isn't a man is just a pile of tin. You had to learn to be your own Tin
Man.
