wonder what she wants
by Charlie Morganshe dropped the scroll of her life;
it was short on years, long on pain.
she didn't want to be a baby's mama;
said so, twice, by a baby's mama.
she loves this man-child unconditionally
and is hers to keep, feed and nurture.
regret to her was a stranger, future's
fortitude scratched by life's claws.
and the unforgiving climb has no path,
the lone, sullied destination: tomorrow.
she dresses him in love and care
sends him off to the world hoping
he's learned his lessons well.

(this is blue's mom). another one short on years, long on pain, hoping the boy has learned some good lessons along the way. |
