Life partners
lossmortality
Life partners
Us with death
The moment of beginning
Leads to an end
With little understanding
Of its significance
There is an imagining
Death partners
Us with life
We see our true
Reflection in the tales
We tell our children
As they fall asleep
To help them understand
How precious
Is the gift of life
Partnered as it is
With an unknown
Legacy of death
