                               To My Two Sons

 

                         The might have been

                         Runs hand in hand with the guilt.

                         My love for you

                         Was a late bloomer.

                         When you needed me most,

                         I was not there.

 

                         What is there left to say?

                         I wish, I wish?

                         But enough of wishing,

                         Except, let me say just this once,

                         Had I hated myself less,

                         Perhaps, I could have loved you more.
