Late Fragment by Raymond Carver
And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

Lovely poem and food for thought. Widowed 5 years, and partnerfree in spite of an intriguing offer or two, I am beginning to recognise myself as beloved, even though it isn't coming from a man's lips. Though this doesn't feel like a circle of love, perhaps it is, with God. I guess I couldn't ask for a better partner...but a flesh and blood one sure would be nice!
