Forever
And then you’re dead
As if you were never there
At all
And all the stuff you had to have
Winds up in thrifty hands
That beloved book you read a thousand times
May never see the light of day
The small garden
Gone
If you have children
They go on
Without you
If you have a better half
They find another half
So when I hear, “Forever”
I just shake my head
And think …
Pictures change
“Forever” merely means
A frame
