MY PLACE – POETRY , AFFIRMATIONS & MORE

Her Words

Her words they danced within my heart

Be free, explore, a life must start

Unlike mine, Quick! Youth will pass

Grab freedom now, don’t leave it last

Wondering back, how it might have changed

Had the life I lived, just remained the same

A narrowed world, a comfort spot

No exploration would have been sought

But I wondered if mistakes I made

The place I left remained the same

Although her, who I loved, life did not last

I reap regret, as her life escaped far too fast

Her words carved, engraved still in my heart

Though it’s true, the life I lived failed a good start

Her words to live by as haunting as the miles between

Lost were a mother’s hugs, caresses, voices now unseen

I just wish I could have had both worlds

Her wishes, her hugs, and the life I explored.
