These Three Things I Long For
I always thought I’d hold that baby boy to adore,
but it looks like having a son just wasn’t in store.
The one that I lost, I wish to be back in my arms,
for this is but a burden I shall carry forevermore.
If only I could be more eager to be truly positive,
maybe then my soul could learn to be restorative.
Unequivocal assurance to bestow onto others,
then an unquestionable jubilant life I would live.
My final wish is to let go of all the guilt and shame
from when my sister took her life; o, all the blame.
To set my heart free from self-reproach and regret-
these three things I invariable desire…I do proclaim.
