one day
Linda M. Crate
i’m thankful i got
to be your mother
even if i never met you
because for me
it goes to prove that
a moment
is an eternity that can change
everything
you turned a girl into a woman,
and made me more aware
of reality which
i have always craved escape from;
but you were a truth
i would have
accepted—
maybe in another universe we’ll meet,
and it won’t have to be like this;
we’ll share our dreams and hopes and maybe
you’d become a dedication in more than
one of my novels and i’d embarrass
you in front of your friends—
but right now i’ll
accept that this could never be,
and be grateful of all that will come.
