What Makes a Life
By Jean Adomfeh
M4, Harvard Medical School
Life is
The curve of a smile on a child’s lips,
The crinkle at the corner of each eye,
The warmth that floods a heart
At the sight of a long-missed friend.
The fragility with which we move,
Mindful that
Anyone could,
At any time,
Shatter
And require repair.
At the boundary of the ancestral world,
We stand,
Redirecting those who have arrived early
And comforting those who pass us by,
Gaffers in their lives.
