There is a sadness to this day,

I feel like so many things are ending-

So many things are ending.

I pause for the moment.

When you are young nothing ends, everything changes.

When you are old many things end.

Medicine and Social Workers resist this reality-

But I want to be at peace with it.

I want to embrace the sadness I feel.

May I never stop being grateful for my tears-

They have opened my heart, if not always my mind,

To acceptance.

It is in the passing of time that the beauty of life is revealed.

Understanding now, the less I try to hold-

The more beautiful life becomes.
