On My Shoulders

by Justine C. Tajonera

When the world is bathed
in gold, I sometimes
forget
that the sun is on
my shoulders.
My son watches his
shadow fall
before him
fascinated by the
play of dark
and light.

I look ahead, seeing
what my life has been,
worrying about what is
to come.
But there is always
a view from
behind my shoulders
that I hardly
ever bother
to see.

Turn around
one day.
You'll see
the one
who loves
you.
