Sonnet I Curtain Call
In time I'll come to stand upon life's stage
To smile and bow and take my curtain call;
Then turn and face the ending of this age,
To step beyond the shadowed curtain's fall.

The essense of my life will linger on
In glowing moonlight silvered on the shore
That breathless moment light appears at dawn
To kiss the fragile star-lit night and more.

I'll take with me your touch upon my skin,
Our child's life that nurtured in my womb
At journey's ending other lives begin
Love's memories survive beyond the tomb.

I give and take from life my very best
As legacy before that final rest.
