More Time
Please give me more time
how I can do it all
more time in a day is what I need
Falling apart everywhere I look
The union supposed to last for ever
is teetering on the edge of a cliff
my body is betraying me
and the so called omnipotent sages of our time
prescribe drugs to lull my body into compliance
My mom needs me
plagued by the dark shadows
suffocating her breath
My little girl, my joy, my life, needs me
The bigger girl and the son
I need them
and my sweet grandbaby
can’t think of being without her
my beautiful newly re found friend
and possibly
the love of my life
can’t see myself existing without him
And so I ask for the impossible
more time for all
Help me dear God
not fall apart.
