To Know You

To Know You

Deep pain is regret of the soul

Rips you apart if allowed to surface from its hole

Unique bond between parent and child

Requires time to blossom, marinate, be chilled

Nobody knows the length of time or side

Moves its own way without emotion, cannot be bribed

You cannot know who you will be

You will not know when you will be your tree

Luckiest are those without restless shift

For Mother will know you in a jiff

Those where time is foe and of restless spirit, alas

They will never know the calm, placid lawn of green grass

Make your world big, do what you want

Do what you can and have no regret you are who you are

But the restless spirit will know the regret of what they do

Never will mother or father Know You
