tomorrow asked
would i like to know
how moments might turn
i looked into her eyes
saw her concern
no
i will love you then

yesterday demanded
i pay a nascent debt
mistakes and foolish pride
i remembered all her pain
heard the shaming lie
regret
i loved you well enough

today arrived
asked had i seen her grace
hope in pain and love in fear
i saw the joy she held
felt the peace now here
space
i love you as you are
