Your mother held your still-born frame
Four times
Four times you went away
But when she rocked you in her arms
the fifth time
She thought you were here to stay
Sometimes I see you in the mirror
from the sides of my eyes
but how could that be you unchanged
two decades have gone by
Do you ever pause to ponder
life's strange twists and turns
You survived war's fire
It was peace that pushed you under
Are you curious as I am
about how it could have been
Given another turn at the wheel
This time
would you strap yourself in? |
