a ring on the beach

by white horse

it was if your words had really cut my face
left scars soo deep my mom could see
and she knew before i told her
she knew before i walked in the door

they call it mothers intuition.

like that night she told me to triple check crossing the street.
and nothing happened

i have often wondered if they were

isolated               incidents

or if they relied on each other.

i gently kissed my mothers forehead
and explained to her
what she had been telling me my whole life

"everything is going to be okay"
