When you were a little girl
I used to put you on a
northbound bus by yourself
to get you back home
every other Sunday night.
You tried really hard
not to cry.
Now you put me
on a southbound train
to get me back home
after weekends of bouncing
your beautiful babies on my knee.
I try really hard
not to cry.
