She caught her breath,
never realizing
she’d been
holding it,
waiting on something
that would never happen.
She wished,
in her instant
before breathing,
that she could
have made it
be different.

wishing is one thing
trying is another
and I know you try
here is my wish
for what it is worth
I wish you peace
and contentment . . .

Thank you my friend,

My greatest regrets are for the early years with my daughter as I see the repercussions of the abusive relationship with her father and how differently she was raised than her two older half brothers.

I don't know anyone who don't wish they could change a part of the past, Lori.

So true. It wasn't so much the wish to change that made me write as it was the realization of the moment when I made the wish and caught my breath. I pondered the possibility that other wishes were made holding one's breath.

Quite beautiful. It can always happen.
