Time

Time which I hoarded is now mine to squander
I have so much of it to fill at my leisure and
Command. I needed it when there was care
And worry and doing so I set aside a block of
Hours that were mine alone to fill with a lunch
Or a Zumba class or, often with a learning of
How to care better for you. Time was precious,
As precious as you were, but there was plenty to
Take care of, long to-do lists, lots of to-doing, so
Our time was not as precious as my time alone,
It was tasks and sorrow and letting go and also
Letting be. Our time was a learning curve of how
To be better, care more, love deeper, and I learned.
I did learn. I miss you and I have all the time in the
World to remember all that loving you has taught me
