Please help me find a poem!

I read a poem a few years ago that contained a line that was (or very similar to) “if life is a single sentence, I know how yours begins but not how it ends”. I think it was written by a woman about her child. I posted it on my instagram at the time but have now deleted that profile and despite loads of googling I can’t find it.

Hoping someone here will recognise it and be able to tell me what it is!!

I found it! Thank goodness for keeping 15000 photos in my camera roll!

If anyone is interested it’s called The Long Now by Robin Beth Schaer

I had slightly misremembered the line. It’s “If each life is a single spoken sentence, then I know how yours begins, but will never hear it whole.”
