Mystery of life.
In youth
you think you’ll live forever.
You blaze a trail.
You yearn. You live.
Decades pass,
the unexpected and unplanned
become your life, a gift of love.
Grateful. So very grateful.
Mystery of death.
Life crashes down
as friends from youth are taken
way too soon.
You shake your head.
You mourn. You pray.
Time’s a thief,
so unexpected and unplanned.
Yet death cannot destroy your love.
Still grateful. So very grateful.

as I mourn the recent unexpected loss
of two high school friends,
Michael Milas and Tony Smith,
Queen of Angels Seminary, Class of 1970.
God rest their souls.
