“If Only…”
July 4, 2018
Mark S. Latkovic
Had they decided differently
How different it would be
There’d be no you
There’d be no me
So we wouldn’t have met
Much less to beget
By the marital debt
The children we’d get
But they did indeed cleave
Their families they’d leave
So as to conceive
What would be the two of us
Now our children’s offspring
With their own nurslings
Repeat the same thing
Another wellspring
