Aoife

A recorded reflection

You can listen above or read below

A single step I n’er did take
All so you might all awake
Seize the day and meet the world
Hugely, greatly, constantly being unfurled

A single word I n’er did speak
My presence was strong, never weak
You never met me where I was
Always searching for a because

My life was just as precious
Without the taken for granted successes
Although I’d no agency to shine
I lived each day perfectly fine

I missed you all so damn much
Longing to feel your gentle touch
I can see how much living away
Enabled you all to thrive day by day

Each time I came to stay
I only wanted you to play
I never wanted to be a burden
Just a sister, a daughter, I’m certain

And now I watch you waiting, hesitating
I’m confused as to why you aren’t seizing
The day by doing it your way
You know you want to - start today
