The Last

The Last

The last one... of anything 
does not automatically make it 
better, or worse... 
only that it is the last.

The best for last, 
is often spoken among the old. 
Dessert is saved until the end. 
Yet, 
new things... 
first dog, 
first cat, 
first day of school.
First kiss... 
How about that?
First taste of chocolate, 
the first night of married life. 
First child, and last child... too. 

Last is a bittersweet reward. 
Last time you see your best friend... 
Last day of school, ever.
The empty bag, the chocolate came in.
The final kiss goodbye to someone you love.
Life is full, from first to last... 
Don't waste even one moment, one breath...
or it will already be past.
