Monday
It felt different
Something had changed
David
His face, his voice, his body
Were signs I should have gauged
His hands and feet were freezing cold
Warm socks, warm blanket, warm bottle
I didn’t want to be too long
I felt the need to stay
Each time I asked
Are you okay
That smile
That nod
But different that day
An extra hug, an extra kiss
Reassurance stayed at bay
The day crept by
As David slept
I checked and checked
Over again
Then
Oh, how I wish I could be certain
You heard me call out loud
David I love you, I love you, I love you
Knee to knee, toe to toe
I held your hands and kissed them
Oh, if only I could be certain.
