To A Gone Child
I Thought I Was Ahead Of You In Line
You Would Take Your Turn
After I Took Mine
Like We Did Before
I Guess You Don't Need New Shoes
For Starting Heaven,
Or A Light Left On Against The Dark
The Way I Always's Did
But I'm So Used To Parenting
I Wanted Just To Be There-
To Do Whatever Needed To Be Done
But You Went First
And Now, My Little One,
Suddenly You Are My Senior Morning,
I Know, Will Come
But Bring Close Your Light-
This Time It Is I Who Fear The Night...
