don’t dwell
on things you cannot help
start over again . . .
I know everybody says ad nauseous
still . . .
there will be other loves
to love
other wars to fight
ring the bells morn and night
forget what you thought was perfect
there’s a crack in everything
how else do you think
the light gets in

I had a feeling you would like the ending, Lori, happy I was right . . .
