this
what we have done
together
these little humans
we have
nurtured
together
and tossed out
into the world
together
this
what we have done
together
is way more than
we could have ever
done
apart
just stand back
give it a beat
look at them
listen to them
they are amazing
and our whole
life’s work.

I am sailing on
a sea of huge regret
still smiling
but nevertheless
navigating
badly
a sea
of huge fegret.

give me a reason
just one
even a little one
a pebble
if you will
then maybe
just maybe
I will change
it only takes a truth
at least half of one
to turn
desperation
into hope.

you look at me
like I am the only girl
in the world
but I’m not
there are millions of us
look around
open your eyes
there are millions
of us
just milling around !

No
is a complete sentence
I only
learned that
yesterday
so today
I can say
out loud
no
no
no
and louder
No
No
JUST NO

if this is it
if this is the end
do me a favour
give me a clue
throw me a line
let’s pretend
all along
we knew
today
was the day
we planned
the end.

How many people
do you honestly
really seriously really
really love
in the world
tonight
count then
on one hand
if you can
how many?
cherish them
and love them
tonight
or tomorrow
if you can.
