I just love the phrase, 'the light of trust.' Such an apt description of what awaits us, of what we await. :) gw

As my Mom always said: "Two things are certain in this life; death and taxes". Still, I intend to go towards the light someday; it beats the other. Great poem.

True, poetic, sound, and brave. One at a time, is the absolute truth, which makes the ending terrific.

Oh, Line - you touched my fear about being left alone, I'd rather be the one to go. This poem has universal impact because all who grow old, face this and there is no way to look at it that isn't sad, at least to me. Tender and sad and emotionally expressed with brevity is a challenging combination that you succeeded in writing. Be easy on yourself ... CayCay

I wish me before she, for I could not stand to see her suffer and live without her..
