I have loved and I have lost
No more or less than most
But my life has been long enough
To understand the cost
Beginnings begun and endings ended
Every one a lesson I've apprehended
These threads of my patchwork tell me
From where I've come, but not where I'm headed
Parcels of my heart are left here and there
Taken in circumstances harsh or fair
All of them are a part of me
And their weights mine to ever bear
To lose is a truly difficult thing
All once secure is stretched too thin
There is nowhere to go and nothing to grasp
All is soon lost – all what once had been
Poem XXXVII
