Horrible poetry for the digital age

Better to have loved.
No matter the cost or pain.
Far better than not.

nursed my wife for five long years
Early Dementia

She was 42 when it started.
But life still goes on.
the Birds still sing, the sun shines
So endure we must

Nor life the sole existence
Eternity calls.

Nothing disappears
Just evolves to something else
Like rebirth of Stars
