Riding the Wave

… The story of us
may be over,
but the story of me
continues on.

And what becomes of me
in the chapters ahead,
can only be written
by me.

Anyone who has lived a full life knows that their journey is certain to be filled with ups and downs that must be ridden like a wave until the seas calm again.
