Cancer {not the zodiac}
I seem to have this problem worrying about tomorrow
When I haven’t even made it half-way through today
My mind wanders aimlessly
Trying to see a future that the Omega has already created
I can’t lose her now…
I didn’t need her yesterday, not then
But I need her in this season
Because I revert back to the days
When I should have been playing with my hula-hoop
Riding bikes, beating the street lights
And sleeping before eight
I’m only 25 by number
I still crawl into her bed when the world gets too much for me
And she holds my broken heart
And carries my tears on her pillow
Stroking my head saying “baby it will be ok”
She confesses her imperfections to me
Being the mother I always wanted her to be
She is the strongest woman that I have ever seen
And sometimes it’s hard to believe that her strength has been redeemed in me
I wonder how I will sit still for ten hours
Time is going to freeze on me
And every thought I have will evoke negativity
Doc don’t you bring me no bad news
I need her to make it past the hospital doors
The exit signs, she will conquer the entrance
I know it…
I don’t want my reflection to be the only way for me to see her face
So Jesus if you’re reading this
Let her reside a little while longer in this place
