YOU.

Without you there
I would not have been able to contemplate
You here.

Without you here
I would be incapable of waking up to face
Another day.

Without another day
The ungrateful dismissal would abruptly
End my life.

Without my life
I would miss the changing face of my son’s
Beautiful future.

Without the future
There will be nothing to bother the atoms
Of tomorrow.

Without tomorrow’s
Inevitable recollection no one will sketch
Our yesterdays.

Without yesterday
I would be without the immeasurable blessing
Of you.

Without you
I would now wish for existence to have passed
Me by.
