Poetry: I told you so

by Kathleen Richardson

I told you so
You can't have both
I told you so
You've left no room for growth

Husband and father sets the bar
Incautious man
What a child you are

I told you so
You can't drink and drive
I told you so
You're lucky to be alive

Husband and father in a car
Little boy
What a fool you are

I told you so
You were the love of my life
I told you so
You asked me to be your wife

Widow and babes bear the scar
Gravestone erect
What a memory you are
