Carpe Diem --- 2024 December 20
My days before were fulfilled daily,
No less and no more, well-balanced,
Blessed chapters and verses were faithful,
Cardinally, orderly--precedes and succeeds,
Until carpe diem claimed Mom's heart,
A reasonable necessity,
Her pain and suffering was addressed,
Age was hers and time was ours,
My son's carpe diem came,
Unexpected, caught off-balanced,
Did my best with my guard down,
I received my carpe diem long after,
Carpe diem was mine,
Yet I was no longer myself,
Realized a changed presence in me,
My heart was much heavier than before.
