I thought about a time of rich friendship,
Two couples, one single,
Laughing and talking, congenial joy.
I wished this could last forever,
Though I knew it wouldn’t.
One started cancer treatments.
One started dating.
One has since died.
The other, now engaged.
At the time, I grieved the change
In friendship that treatment,
Dating, brought.
Now I look back and think,
The death was going to happen.
What a grace, that the dating
Started when it did.
