Tell me

 

Did she see you before she could see us no

more?  Did she put marker in book to

prepare, or was she—unaware?

Did she say any sort of farewell, did she

tell you anything for me?

 

How was it to be the children who were

there, to let your mother grow on up and

go—thus turning all the tables? Tell me

how it was to let her

go.  Tell me how to let her go.  Tell me.
