Some endings seem to be more difficult than others…
Pulling on heartstrings trying to sew the broken
Crying tears of sorrow for a love turned cold
Graduation brings a mixed bag of joy and apprehension
Knowing challenges // struggles // and hard work lay in store
On the only path to their growth and success
Friend separation leaves empty space // but never in our heart
True friendship never ends// no matter how far they roam
Reunions always seem like it was only yesterday
But // losing a loved one is the most difficult of all endings
A child before parent // an unimaginable ending
A parent who passes early leaves a giant hole in one’s heart
Cruel dementia is very difficult to accept
Living on without memory is an ending none of us desire
Living till we die is what we all hope and pray for
Some endings are more difficult than others
