Late Fragment

Late Fragment
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 earth.

  1. Today our teacher brought in a guest speaker to talk to us about our careers and futures. I read this before class and thought it was interesting, but had no idea it would coincidentally mean so much more.

    Like the writer, I hope that I will get what I want from this life.

    P.S. To whoever wrote this, you are beloved.
