When you first held me
did you know what
was in store
for you
for me
for us?
----------------------------Did it matter then?
Was there
a quid pro quo
a pre-partum agreement
Checking the pros
and cons
of an investment
for life
for generations?
----------------------------Did it matter then?
The good times
the bad ones
The triumphs
the disappointments
the simple fact that
I would forever mirror you
and you, me?
----------------------------Did it matter then?
Did you have it all
carefully planned
even then
the lessons you'd impart
the hopes you'd hold dear
the secrets that you'd
keep
clutched tightly to you
knowing, praying
I'd learn them
myself, in my own time?
----------------------------Did it matter then?
Do you live that moment
over and over
and over?
Do you ask yourself
the questions
I am asking you?
----------------------------Does it matter?
Would you change
anything?
Anything at all?
Knowing what you know
now
does it make any
difference?
----------------------------No, it doesn't.
And tell me also
did you wonder
if I
in turn
will ask myself these
questions
and will my son ask me?
---------------------------Every day...

There's too many, "Did it matter then['s]" which break the flow of thought. I'd preface the first four verses with

Did it matter

When you first held me
did you know what
was in store
for you
for me
for us?
.

Then I'd allow the thought to flow undistrubed.

I'd also preface the fifth the same.

The sixth as follows:

Would you change
anything?
Anything at all?
Knowing what you know
now?
Does it make any
difference?

(If the questions are rhetorical, then don't answer one)
.

The final one as follows:

And did you wonder
if I
in turn
would ask myself these
questions; and
in turn
my son
ask me?
---------------------------Every day?

.

A good formatting for this one, which would also reflect past, present and future, would be to indent the entire body of the poem centered between the initial "Did it matter" flush left and the final "Every day" flush right.
