Final Lullaby
I didn’t go far,
but I went far enough
I could have reached deeper,
though finding so much
I could have seen more,
but my vision remains
I could have hoped longer,
though wishes retain
I could have stood taller,
but my back is still straight
I could have blamed others,
though forgiveness my trait
I could have loved more,
but my heart is still full
Bereft of my yearnings
—eternity lulls
