I will always treasure this moment
As long as it lasts
Pushing me through the park
Brittle bones and eyes gone dark
Limbs trembling with the effort
Determined to be my savior one last time
And share a final valentine
Each bump agony endured in silence
I remember the first time
When I didn’t need you to pick me up
and carry me up the steps
We sat upon a weathered bench
And watched in wonder and awe
As swans swam in perfect unison
Snow white question marks
Until they joined to form a perfect heart
