Swan song

"for just as the swan's last song is the sweetest of its life, 

so loss is made endurable by love, 

and it is love that will echo through to eternity."

-call the midwife (PBS)-

Day 7/31: everybody has somebody that they miss every single day. without love to carry us through, how would we ever tolerate the space that exists with them gone?

 i wrote this poem when i turned 30. it was the first one without my grandma.

29:1

Twenty-nine years that I had you here

To the one year you have been gone

I liked the 29 better.
