A Lonely Man

The man lost his love,
He is now alone,
A greater love to him,
Will never again be known…

The love of his life,
His wife had passed on,
They spent many years together,
And now she was gone…

Trying to find another,
He pondered and thought aloud,
“I feel that without my wife,
I can no longer be proud…”

This is a gift some people are not given,
The honor of having a spouse,
As he walked home, he thought,
I’ll now be in an empty house….

No one could ever fill her shoes,
The love he enjoyed for many years,
As he thought this over,
His eyes welled up with tears…

Dedicated to all those who have lost a spouse…
