in another world
Linda M. Crate
maybe in another world
we’re together
holding hands,
and laughing over something
silly you’ve said;
and maybe you’re sad because someone
hurt you and i’m brushing the tears
away from your
beautiful eyes—
maybe we’ve just finished reading your favorite book
or you’ve come home with your first bad grade,
and i’ve taken away your computer for a
month;
but through it all i know there is love—
a mother unless a monster
will always love
her children,
and so i will always love you
even if in this universe
we could not be
together.
