Notes About The Poem

November 15,2025

For the contest,  Time Traveling by Tom Woody

Time Traveler

Oh, to be given the special chance
to rewrite history with but a glance
So many things in so many ways
So many words to simply un say

But, above all, I would like to give
My mother the days she couldn't live
The flu stole her when I was but two
She was someone I so wish I knew

She missed many hugs and so did I
I sent kisses to her in blue sky
Such a time she missed,  Earth and I aged
she would hardly know us, at this stage

I'd love to find those moments for her
Show her what Earth now has to offer
The years added up, we'd need to find
Every hour she left behind.
