Hey, Jude [poems 33/38?]
A/N: Mary's POV.
Hey, Jude
This life was not what I intended
But as you know,
Death has a way of changing those we leave behind
I wish you could know a mother’s embrace
A life of safety, not that of a soldier
Blind ignorance, some might say
Baby, I’d want you to lie in bliss
I wish that November was just
A passing of time,
Rather than the bitter reminder
Of something you’ll never have
That, you wouldn’t turn away from golden strands
With tears
But rather, that you’d embrace them
With your smile
