There is so much I want
For your life
The peace to sleep with both eyes
& wake with the wealth to realize
You don’t need much
Just the wisdom to stay around long enough
To understand
& accept the unexpected
Ask me any question
Like why I failed when there was no reason
Or why I fell when I had the blueprint to all the traps
I promise I will answer
Even if it means you will respect me less
& if one day you are old enough to understand
All my failures and disappointments
Will have been worth something
