 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Mother (revisited)


It is seven years today that you died
and I still think of you once in a while
I sometimes still wonder if you can see me
and sometimes I can see you smile.
There are things I have learnt since you went away
and to be honest I'm really confused
I have found a new brother that I never knew
and I wonder how did you choose?
For I was born just one year before
and it could have been me that you gave away?
How did you pick which one would be lost…
or did you really not have your say?
Such a very big question with no answer to hear
…I still love you but feel a bit lost
I can't help but wonder if you ever thought
that the price was not the real cost?

Dedicated to my new brother Leon.
