In my young foolishness,
wanting my freedom-
eager to fly on my own two wings,
I'd ignore your example,
discount your advice...
to you both, I would say such insensitive things.
Other boys and their mothers
with bond not yet broken,
were often the target
of arrows and slings.
To myself I would think
that it somehow was better
to be independent...
to not be one, who clings.
But time has a way
of revealing her secrets.
My vision has cleared.
I now see, though it stings.
If I could be granted
but one more day,
it would be in our kitchen,
in your apron strings.
