From One Life to Another

From One Life to Another
 I watch as life falls from their eyes,
 A quiet departure, no goodbyes.
 The memories fade, the breath grows slow,
 As the hands of time gently let go.
 Each wrinkle tells a tale untold,
 Of days once bright, now dimmed with gold.
 In their gaze, a lifetime spent,
 Of joys, of pains, of love well lent.
 I hold their hands, soft and worn,
 Wishing to ease the ache, the mourn.
 But in their eyes, I see the past,
 A fleeting glimpse, a shadow cast.
Yet as one life fades, another is born,
 In the soft cries of children, reborn.
 In the nursery, new eyes gleam,
 A future waiting, a hopeful dream.
 Tiny fingers grasping for more,
 A world to explore, to love, to adore.
 In their gaze, I see the spark,
 A fire igniting, bright in the dark.
 From the edges of life to the start of new,
 I stand between both, seeing it through.
 One life leaves, and one begins,
 The endless cycle, the world spins.
 And in the dance of birth and death,
 I find my place with every breath.
 In every goodbye, a hello is near,
 And with each life, I hold them dear.
