How dare time not stop for a moment!
It didn’t ask me
if it could continue
to tick like it had somewhere to go
It didn’t ask me
if I wanted
just one more moment to smile at him
It didn’t ask me
if I needed
one more minute to give my last advice
It didn’t ask me
if I yearned
for just one more hug
from the baby I could still see in his eyes
It didn’t ask me
if I longed
to relive those 20 blessed years
It didn’t ask me
and kept ticking
