Some for better, others for worse

Some for better, others for worse
When people come and go in our lives,
The meeting is like birth,
Their presence, in greater or lesser degree,
Change our lives.
Some for better,
Others for worse,
Then those not at all.
The ending is like death,
Those who impact the greatest
Their absence felt the most,
A cold emptiness that was once filled.
Others simply missed,
The loss felt less, yet there nonetheless.
Some not missed at all, perhaps relief they are gone,
Yet for all a death of sorts.
Life is changed and equation once there, now gone.
Some never forgotten,
Others not given a second thought.
