THE PERSONAL SIDE

THE PERSONAL SIDE

Walkers going out on break

To walk the parking lot

Figure when their last day is

And how much time they’ve got.

–

Some will cry and some will laugh

And others just be glad they’re out…

While some are measuring down to the final step

In emotional walk-about.

–

The one who brings down the hard news

Is herself deeply affected inside…

Like many for whom this place is home,

She too has privately cried.

–

Business will do what it must do

While this team takes a big whack…

Although we knew this was coming up,

It still takes some aback.
