I suppose I'm at that age
when family and friends start dying.

While I know death is inevitable
and for some, even a relief.

It doesn't lessen the pain,
the heartbreak or the grief.

*Don't know if this is a poem or not, but I just lost another dear Friend (to cancer), and I needed to write something - because I'm hurting, and it feels like there's another little hole in my heart. :(

it is elegant in its simplicity and universal in its scope.

the "i guess" at the beginning reinforces the inevitability, even as the rest bolsters the human struggle against it.

may you find peace and healing.
