Jo

I always had one rule for you 

Do your best 

That’s all I ever ask of you 

Nothing more. 

Whatever the results 

I will be satisfied 

Because I know you 

Better than you know yourself. 

And I will be waiting 

To hear the shock and surprise in your voice 

When you have won 

But it’s no new revelation for me 

I predicted it 

A row of roses, my response.
