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
