While I am thinking about the "new" year,
I am still focused on the ending of 2024.
She was the first
To sleep in the cradle
Crafted for her.
She was the first
To read, graduate, marry,
Becoming a Mom
Defined her.
She was the first
To leave this chapter
With so much still to do.
With a partner and children
Who needed her.
With clients and closings
Pending.
She is a reminder
To savor each sunrise,
To treasure each sunset,
To broker truces,
To make peace, amidst
The drama and demands
Of this life.
