Poetry: Remorse

She reflects in a picture book

Of photographs she once took

Of the children she left behind

Always promising to return to them in time

But time flew, the children grew

And now when they look at one another

What do they see?

Not a child who sees his mother.

But a stranger time has made.

The chances of hope that time has taken away

Of what they lost and what they had

To think of one another is too sad

Of once was and never can be

Of forgotten hope and lost dreams

If she had only knew

If she could of only seen

She would have given up everything

So for today, she will reflect in this book

Of what life gave and time took

    I have taken it on the chin

    She sends her spirit on the wind,
    A feeling in the air.
    I reach out to hold her close,
    She's never really there.

    Two young people fell in love
    During their long and cold winter
    They only wore one tattered glove
