Here’s to Endings

It all begins in a fanfare, but we forget along the way,
That all that starts will find its end one day.
You can deny Father Time, but only for a while.
Eventually, you come to the final, the last mile.
Do you take a bow, proud of your span and score?
Or do you want to run away and find another door?
We cannot stop the sun in the sky, nor still the turning tide.
We cannot turn the world in reverse, no matter how we try.
So embrace that last bow with a flourish,
Fear not, the final frame of the day.
Go forward to the next journey.
Here’s to endings and to another way!
Life has meaning because one day it ends.
