Age has its benefits. It really brings wisdom. Now, what do we do with it?
You have to learn death
to know living.

Stare it in the face,
the pain, the peace, the shell.

Losing
brings having closer

Birth
the pain, the joy, the journey.

Hold each baby closer
hugging
take in the life.

To be fully alive
you have to know death and living
and then what comes beyond.
