To Ma
Maybe I haven’t taken this
seriously enough, or more likely
I haven’t wanted to confront the truth;
your health scares the hell out of me.
Pop, I knew was coming, had been
for years. But you’ve always been
the touchstone, the grounding rod
of this family.
I can’t really imagine how tough
this is for you; losing body is one
thing, losing mind a whole ‘nuther
ball game.
But honestly, let me tell you what
I see: Incredible guts, strength and
grace in the face of terrible adversity.
I see all the qualities that I pray
I’ve learned and earned.
I will cherish all the days and
when the time comes,
never forget all that you’ve
given me.
