Undone

I'm sorry,
Little One.
For my flaws.
For my lack of strength.
That I could not hold together
all the dreams
thread through
with delicate strands
of reality.
Embroidering the future with
colors of love...
That my body failed you.
Failed to see through
to the beauty
and joy
and sadness
of that grand and unifying picture.

For the grey that is left behind,
I'm sorry.
