This thread in my inbox goes back 13 years
A request from a friend sits at the top of the list
The one I met at uni which we’ve fallen out since
Asking for advice and you are trying to help
A few random hi’s and a few sharp hellos
Until I was at crisis and somehow you knew
We’ve had lovely deep chats over these years
You’ve been like a teacher and showing me ways
I was afraid to move on and have one of my own
You went on before me against all of the norm
Then messaged me soon as your little one came
Even though your thumb was in terrible pain
You checked on my work and we compared a few stories
My change of career and I spoke of my glories
I saw you content. Filled with utter most joy
I’d seen lots of pictures with you and your boy
It did make me question what I’m missing in life
When I thought I was happy just being a wife
So a boy I too had, that came with a price
Although never natural, as there was a device
You held my hand through as I struggled along
Every day was a battle as he hung on my thong
Then it all went quiet for 5 years or more
I got pretty busy finding mores I adore
Until last year when I suddenly shook
I pondered for a while if I was in your bad book
You were never quite gone, there was a line or a like
And a comment from me when you went for a hike
We picked up a little when you were higher than clouds
A beautiful picture of a lift on the rise
I missed our old chats so I checked out the thread
A revelation arrived that filled me with dread
Your misses she hates me am I friend, or a foe?
Why am I here and needing to know?
So we talked and we talked and we’ve finally arrived
It’s been a long journey as I cried and we smiled
Why did it take us so many years?
For us to face the darkest fears?
A Wonder you said seem to have us on hold
We examined all that’s been with a very fine comb
It’s my turn to give, there is nothing to hold
If you need me I’m here, no longer controlled
Just give me a shout, I‘ve done it before
My career was pending when there wasn't a cure
I went through all sorts and it took me a while
Where there’s a will there’s way, I want you to smile
