Parting
At the moment of leaving,
there are tears in her eyes
as she smiles, as she waves.
He sits alone on the train,
knowing his departure
threatens his composure.
Father and daughter;
for them it has always been this way -
the pleasure of company
and the pain of parting.
They have shared this moment
in stations, car parks,
driveways, restaurants
all her life, it seems.
