If I Could, I’d Rewrite Your Stars
Latte pondering
This kind of life is not what we signed up for,
we both just wanted a normal family,
traditional, and humble, nothing too crazy.
It pains my soul, when I think of your suffering,
and I wish I could steal it all away forever and download it on me instead.
If I could, I’d rewrite the stars for you,
I’d rewrite your story and memories.
You’d live in a gorgeous house,
with a kind wife who adored you,
and happy kids who called you their hero.
You’d have the time and energy to finish your doctorate degree,
you’d write several books that impacted people positively in your field.
You’d feel powerfully confident and perfectly content in your own skin,
every day you’d wake up, ready for the win!
I’d see you and your family across the sidewalk,
and I’d smile,
taking pride in knowing,
that I helped rewrite your stars.
