How Long
How long do I have
to hold you on my lap while we read?
How long do I have
to see your always sweet and sometimes sly smile?
How long do I have
to hold your soft, warm hand in mine?
How long do I have
to watch you struggle to learn and communicate?
How long do I have
to watch you feel frustrated and discouraged?
How long do I have
to watch you battle the terrible seizures
that rack your brain and body?
How long do I have
left to love you just the way you are?
How long do I have
left before you leave me?
