Today I am still sitting here thinking of the magic moment I experienced yesterday.
What would of happened if I could of met the younger me, what would I have had to say.
Maybe I could of told her that things would get easier, but that would of been a lie
Things got worse, harder, her shoulders would have so much to bare, she’d learn not to cry.
No I don’t think I could tell her of the dark days to come, of everything normal and of caring for a tortured soul
Of rules too harsh to keep,of agonizing days , and nights of no sleep. Yet I could tell her she would stay whole.
She would grow and cope, her energies trained to her children. Her husband working away so much
No I fear I could not warn her of the sorrows and the pain that, her shoulders, would touch.
I’d tell her of the joys of watching graduations three fold, of wedding days
Of looking at three lovely and kind spirited young men from babies to husband and men in a haze.
Of waiting for the next generation to be born watching it grow in a beautiful young woman’s body
Of decorating , of moving houses of being driven mad and money broke, of being there to always to help, as if her own life was just a hobby.
No skip the pain, the betrayals , desertions, the returns that should not of been allowed
Of the rows and control , she probably knows of that already, no all that I would shroud.
What good would it do her ? None . For she is me and would be already locked in a love.
That forgives adultery, selfish children, unreasonable demands, she’d not change a thing , caught like a caged dove.
I’d tell her to be strong and many years hence she will find her niche
Her mind will grow and all will make sense at last and then she will have her peace.
I’d tell here to be true and to stand up for herself if she can.
I’d tell her to hold on to her dreams and never let them go, to love those near to her to follow life’s unseen plan.
