Ask

Katie B.

           

When day becomes night

Ask of my day

Did I offer love?

Did I make my work my own?

Did I bear burdens in stride?

Tell me my share is enough

That my work is sufficient

That I cared for another

With your good intentions

Tell me what I have found is contentment

Ask of my day

Ask of my night

    Katie, this carries a quiet honesty that really works…those questions feel real and grounded. I love your use of repetition. Since you asked, if you wanted to refine it...I’d just look at letting your strongest lines breathe a bit more through spacing. Nothing major…just small shaping to let what’s already there land even deeper. Beautifully written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
