Click here to hear the poet read his words:
cultural differences
I remember when I met you
on a night of bitter cold
your promises of sunshine
to warm me as I grow old
you told me I was different
my attitude my voice
I believed your every word
thought you had made your choice
now your smile is disappearing
eyes growing ever stonier
a difference of culture
all hail Caledonia
before you leave my angel
one thing I need to know
is it true what made you love me
is the reason you must go
Those last two lines are wonderful! They tell so much about so many of my relationships.
