twenty-two
taught me to never
Abandon.
like my father

it taught me that it is not
Blind.
like my mother

it taught me it is to
Carry.
like any other burden

it taught us to
Dance. for
Eternity...

that life can be
Filled. with
Genuine.
Happiness.

we are barely twenty.
yet it was, is, will be
Infinite.
