This was what I read out on the last walk
GIVEN TOO MUCH
I think you have given too much
I think, too many
have become too used
to your constant support
your enduring reliability
your unwavering care
and I think, it is time
beyond time, in fact
for you to review these boundary lines
which have become so very blurred
yes, I think, you have given too much
and now, I think it is time
beyond time, in fact
for you to give more
to yourself
more to your dreams
more to your joy
more to your being
you have given too much
but you have time left still
to give even more
to the things you left behind
and, I think, you left yourself behind
go back for her.
