What They Should Have

Filed under Uncategorized

Dec 17

They would have been -

Doctors, barbers

Airline pilots and plumbers.

Filmakers, chefs, fireman and dancers.

They should have become-

Mothers

Fathers

Grandparents

BFF’s and frenemies.

They should have -

Seen the end of this millenium.

Felt the elation of a first kiss.

Tasted the salty tears of success.

Heard the music of a father/daughter dance.

Inhaled the sweetness of a carnation pinned to a wrist.

They should have.

But what they have done

Is touched our hearts

Forever.
