I am a lover
of this life I’ve lived,
even if along the way
I have not loved
as well and as fully
as I might.
This life has given
me many chances
to be fully me,
even if I haven’t
always taken up
all the chances
that have been tossed
generously my way.
Indeed, I am a lover,
and like a lover true
I will give back to my
love all there is to give,
all that is in
my bones
and in my soul.
