Is there any law more irrefutable?.
Every leaf that sprouts green turns brown and withers
Every worm that turns into a beetle turns on its back at the end.
And yet,
and yet
in quiet moments
we don't want to think of this truth
for those we hold dear.
Applied without exception,
differences lie only in the manner of passing.
So what do we hope for?
No pain for the beloved,
yet time for us to say farewell -
is that possible?
Thus that old adage -
live every moment as if it were your last.
Let's hold every person in our lives with a gaze that burns love and hope into our beings.
Let laughter, silliness and fun be our default mode.
For when the end comes,
it may be sudden.
Only He holds our books
and knows when to turn the last page, and how.
