[hometext] => A poem about saying what you feel before it's too late.
[bodytext] => I go home as I sometimes do now, to be social- to see the change. Waving at the same old neighbours, careful that I don't get chained. I'm reminded of infant days gone, in your kitchen- that humming fridge. Now I see you and you're the small one. Can’t help but notice that your face is getting thin I long to hear you but you make no sense now. I wish for quiet as you’re moaning on. I look to mother, she can’t see what I can. She smiles as she pours your tea. Will I get the chance to say it? Do I even want to hear the word? I want you to know you are valued, I should have said it when you understood. Praying for a moment just to touch you- let you know that I remember your grace. So I do as the cups are clattered, your cloudy eyes fix on my face. I like to think that you get my meaning. I think you do so I hold your hand. I feel the softness of its wrinkled flesh and I remember when you held mine.
