Johnny
He could have been
Tall, dark and so handsome
He could have been so much like dad
But gone
Jenny
Ballerina
The singing and dancing
Little princess of her papa
Could be
Billy
So scholarly
Smart, dignified, honest
Could be a political bet
Maybe
And you
Little Lily
Just like I thought would be
So much like your mommy indeed
So weak
Gave up
Just like I did
Johnny, Jenny, Billy
I couldn’t fight for their daddies
Sorry
Your choice
If you only
took time to talk with me
Like I should have done with my mom
Too late
