To My Mother
By Mike Bolton
A question I would ask of you.
How do I tell the people that
they must wait
for their new home?
When we had done so well '
this year - "wait."
They do not know for there is
no way to account for the
revenue, but "wait."
They must trust me
to run the business.
So I will tell them that we need
to reinvest our profits.
So they must wait for a year or
more for their home.
How do I tell my father that he
must wait for a year for another
job, for I gave his job away.
And how shall I tell my children
that they will have no backyard
to play in this year.
I know I will tell them all to wait.
For I know what is best.
