My cross to bear
(for my mother) March 09, 1925 - June 28, 2010)

I’ve said enough

Now where do you  hurt?

How long is  your   story?

Are you still there?

I am listening, now,

wandering in and out of my self

Now and then I find my body 

Now and then, I don’t

I won’t tell you where I’ve been,

unless you ask 

I will leave you be, now unto your own desires

I have mine own to wear,

my cross to bear,

it is, not yours

I follow closely mine own shadow

It is always there

Where do  you  hurt?

I want not to be your cross to bear

I have mine own, to wear
