Why should

this troubled world

ever be grateful to

a glider?

Our world is troubled,

and so we cannot glide

gratitude is due

only to those who with

blistered foot, and bruised heart,

who trudged this rough earth

and gave up their hearts

not gliders!

I will glide 

Through this expanse.

I will glide

To the hereafter.

I will await 

The gratitude

Of a grateful world.
