many times
before
so today is a milestone
too good
to ignore.
You're trembling my dear,
please dry
your eyes.
The dark clouds are gone
to bring
clear skies.
I see you looking ahead,
with hesitation,
at the end of the pier
concealing the thought
that we'd never
get back here.
It's through
the resilience
of two beating hearts
when the healing process
really
starts.
The car accident
now
seems so far away.
Let's move
forward together
and seize the day.
As we reach the end of this pier
it's almost
too much to bear
but silently I weep
pushing you
in your wheelchair.
