Too Late MAG
A bundle of joy
wrapped and waiting for
you
to rush over and take
me into your arms.
But you linger back
and fade into the
darkness.
The terrible two's
and all i wanted
was a bedtime story.
But too little to understand
why you never took turns
with mommy.
Six years old
and i thought i was Larry Bird
all i needed now was to
learn to shoot the ball.
But never important enough
to win your time to teach
me.
Ten years rolls around
and all i wanted was a hug
and maybe someone
to walk with
and talk with
and laugh with.
i wanted to help you trim your mustache
but i was "too stupid" to learn.
15 1/2
my rebellion years
"Let's have lunch" you say
but hon, i am just
too cool for you
and you are just too late.
Sucks for you,
'cuz you just let me slip right
through your fingertips and i am
not coming back.
