PLEASE ASK
by Barbara Taylor Hudson
Someone asked me about you today.
It's been so long since anyone has done that.
It felt so good to talk about you
To share my memories of you,
To simply say your name out loud.
She asked me if I minded talking
about what happened to you...
Or would it be too painful to speak of it.
I told her I think of it everyday and
Speaking about it helps me to release
The tormented thoughts whirling
around in my head.
She said that she never realized the
pain would last this long...
She apologized for not asking sooner...
I told her, "Thanks for asking"
I don't know if it was curiosity
Or concern that made her ask,
But told her, "Please do it again
sometime...soon."
Happy 45th Birthday Dad!!! I love you :)
