life changes

Even if you know you don't know 

What it will be or when

Only that there is no question of if

Even if you expect the unexpected 


When forced to make changes

To continue on with your life 

While facing these losses

Sadness hangs in the air 


It takes time to come to terms

With this new reality –

Your life will not be like before

And what comes next is uncertain 


Such a life changing event 

Brings a heightened awareness of

What is most important to hold on to –

Our care and concern for each other 


In appreciation for what we have 

Trusting me while you’re vulnerable 

Such an intimate time

Brings us closer, deeper in love 


Writing this together with you

With our words literally on the same page

I am happy you contributed your edits

Improving our shared expression
