Wonder.
A life, well lived, leaves a mark.
To keep the eyes of someone younger,
keeps some light within the dark.

As wind blows it rustles the trees,
in a place that feels like home.
For when that breeze came with ease,
to you the earth was known.

Years have passed,
the world is now seen through a window.
Each breath might be your last.
Choose not a state of limbo.

In every day we wager,
is today for connecting with those we love?
Connecting with others is in our nature,
until we look down from above.
