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
