Reflections on Mortality

 

What’s wrong?

What’s right?

I have moments

Where on reflection

Nothing is working out

Nothing will change the inevitable.

One step forward two back.

My mortality looms

Reminding me

My days are numbered.

Nature’s way

Of reclaiming its own.

 

Your last chance

He said,

Take this drug.

Side effects?

Choices?

Two

Take it or…….

Maybe

Put off the inevitable

Put off the embarrassment

Of helplessness.

 

Every reason to be positive

Children

Grandchildren

Milestones

Life

Love – ha!

 

Reasons to, outweigh the not to,

Sometimes it is good

To let emotions rise

Hang them out there

Cry a little

But never give up.

 

People need people

You reach out

You listen

You grow

Until the end.

Life is a series of lessons

We are always learning, laughing, loving,

And if we are lucky, being loved.
