Living with Bob and "Al"

Sometimes Sheri sits and studies Bob's face,
thinking back to a different time
 and a very different place.

She wonders if she'd known the path life would take
Would she have held on a little tighter
shown a little more grace.

Would she cherish more deeply
small signs that he cared
would she listen more carefully
to the words that he shared.

She trys hard not to look back
as she can't change the past
but she looks back to look forward
as to not miss one more brief chance.
