Stephen Jenkinson: Not "You" Have to Continue
Life has to continue,
not “you” have to continue.
Life is not your lifespan or your children’s lifespan
or the lifespan of what you hold dear.
How about holding dear the fact t
hat nothing you hold dear lasts?
How about holding that close to your bosom?
That’s making meaning of the end of life,
the willingness to do that.
