...sometimes just sometimes
a week is hard
it is long
emotions in high peaks and low troughs
sometimes
life has a beginning
it has an end
a lifetime is the living in between
we celebrate the beginning
as we go through life
we might marry
we celebrate the passing of the years
and then the end
we are sad
emotions tumbling
the news comes
the end is near
traveling through the night
the worry
support through a wire
suddenly distances seem so vast
snippets of contact
nothing physical
the last breath was taken
no struggling or gasping
a peaceful end
talking much talking
making sense
rebuilding bridges
the last breath was taken
no struggling or gasping
a peaceful end
talking much talking
making sense
rebuilding bridges
in the midst
a celebration seems wrong
my birthday
my emotions are dancing
my actions are slow
my friends rally me
with small heartfelt gifts
I am surrounded by love
all this in the space of a week
sometimes just sometimes
a week is hard
it is long
sometimes
As hard as it is, I am so glad to read that there was peace at the end. Holding you all in prayer as you deal with the coming days and weeks.
