Did You Know

Did you know
Way back then
God
The years
That were ahead
For me

Could you see

What was coming

Did your heart break too

Days prior
When you witnessed
My carefree spirit
Knowing
It was the last
You’d see
Of that
For a while

I sometimes wonder

If I would have wanted
To see
It coming

If I would have benefited

From some strong inner voice
Warning me
That something life changing
Was on my doorstep

Telling me

To brace myself
 
To get one last
Good laugh in
While I could
