Written in response to “End” by Charlie, May 2020

All things end.
It’s people who refuse
to accept it.
We hold on with a death grip to avoid the inevitable.
Nature knows that to live all must also die,
to make room.
So is it really the “end”?
The sun still shines,
The rain still falls,
Grass and flowers and trees still grow.
And we all do what we can
in the time we’ve been given To do the best we can
To make our being here worthwhile
Before our “end.”
