What It Could Have Been?

My life should have been

something serene

not something mean

I would have been happy with routine.


If my mother hadn't died

when I was young,

or my daughter hadn't gone mad,

when she'd just begun.


If my father hadn’t drunk,

If my foot hadn’t been clubbed,

If I hadn't got sick

when I had my life to enjoy.

If I hadn't lost

my little boy.


What it could have been

what I see other people have,

the happy, successful life

what would that have been like?

What, would that have been like?

What would that, have been like?
