The last sip of coffee from the mug.
The last touch of a lover’s hug.
The last spoonful of ice cream from the pint.
The last glimpse of a loved-one going out of sight.
The last cuddle from a pre-teen child.
The last day of barefoot running wild.
The last swim on the last day of summer heat.
The last candy left from Halloween treats.
The last whistle of a train traveling down the track.
The last moment at the beach before the picnic basket is packed.
The last measure of a favorite symphony.
The last glimpse of a ship as it heads out to sea.
The last wave of guests traveling off afar.
The last scoop of peanut butter left in the jar.
The last basketball swishing through the hoop.
The last score before a buzzer’s hoot.
The last parade of a disbanding troop.
The last band marching in a parade.
The last night walking across a stage.
The last frame of a good movie flickering on the screen.
The last ripped seam in a favorite pair of jeans.
The last dance before the lights are raised.
The last snowfall at the close of winter’s days.
The last walk in a too-worn pair of shoes.
The last kiss I gave to you.
The last day of 2022.
