Tractable tribute

 

For you, I sustain your beliefs,

For you, I adorn your attire,

For you, I hold back cynicism,

For you, I try, like you, to inspire.

 

Remorsefully, I handle your absence,

Regretfully, I sigh in despair,

Ruefully, I try to cope with it,

Rapidly, my heart seeks hasty repair.

 

For your loved one, I dreadfully fall short,

For your loved one, I try to march strong,

For your loved one, I seek out respite,

For your loved one, I follow him along.
