DEFERENCE

“Don’t forget I love you” was your message;
Of script in parents’ rings it did remind.
Remember me - written there in cursive;
Knowing it sometimes lost, they’d need to find.
I’d like to think I can’t forget to eat;
To know that I won’t blank out on breathing.
But sometimes when I’m flying by the seat,
Vital functions may need a debriefing
And there you are to hold up your sign bright,
And point and gesture for your audience
Of one: this creature blessed with holy flight
Must bow its humble head in deference.
