The Lasts

We celebrate firsts, because they’re obvious.
First tooth, first step, first kiss.

But how rarely do we recognize lasts.
Last time holding a son during worship.
Last time helping in the bath.
Last time reading Go, Dog, Go.

I doubt we’d celebrate these anyway,
Even if we knew.
The big griefs are painful enough.
