Had I not Been ill
by
Dina Dinsmoor
I could have washed the dishes
I never would have known china had spirit
I could have stayed thin
I might never have known humility could be comfortable
I could have stayed your wife
I never would have known I could live without you
I could have had babies
Yes, I could have had babies
