November Evening

He speaks to her
On a cold November evening

She asks what will the future bring for me
He cannot answer

But he tells her that her sons
Will become great men

The one will fall a long way
Yet he will save the world

The other will give and give until he has no more
And save everyone he can

Perhaps he speaks of one with a certain tone
For she asks if he loved him

She says
A mother knows

Both he answers
But she shakes her head

He answers the best he can
Of course. Of course.

How could he not
He is his world

She smiles
Thank you for taking care of my boys

He must go
Can’t interfere any longer

Before he goes
She grabs his arm

He’s yours, you know
He does
