In Loving Memory Of
Roseanne "Ro" Soberalski
September 4, 1959~February 19, 2007


To a Child Gone

I thought I was ahead of you in line.
You would take your turn
After I took mine,
Like we did before.

I guess you don't need new shoes
For starting Heaven,
Or a light left on against the dark
The way you always did.

But I'm so used to parenting.
I wanted just to be there--
To do whatever needed to be done.
But you went first.

And now, my daughter,
Suddenly you are my senior.
Morning, I know, will come.
But bring close your light--

This time it is I who fear the night.
