Lesser of Two
Tell me what’s worse.
To lose your parent before
You could even remember or
To lose them when you’ve
Known them for forever?
To have many memories or none?
To have gotten to know them,
And know they were undeserving
Of the unfair hand time dealt,
Or to have never had the chance?
Well let me say one thing:
My siblings and I have been there,
And I’ll tell you, it doesn’t matter
When unthinkable things happen.
What happened was a sharp pain
And not even time can dull that blade.
