If we had had
a bit more time,
what could I have done?
what would I have said?
Would I have tried giving you a warning?
You would not have heeded it,
would have resented it,
would have told your siblings and kids,
“Mom is trying to get me to stop doing
what I love the most”
“She always worries, about everything”
“I love what I’m doing”
“I’ve learned a lot”
“I’m always careful”
“I’m trying my best”
There is nothing I could have done
to make this any better,
and yet, all that I want,
more than anything,
is just a bit more time
with you.
