Just

I thought you would keep loving

enough to know them

A hug a word or three

A look

Just because

I thought you would keep caring

enough to notice

their day laughter

and tears their life

Just because

I think now what memory

theirs to hold when

dear departed you with

enough time notice

Just perhaps

How little still you care

to squander

their wealth of love

yours for the taking

until only rust

then dust remains

where their trainer wheels had been
