Memories are the mainstay of old age
When your friend through life has passed away
Nothing can replace the touch, the smile, the
understanding that helps you through the day
How I miss the unspoken feelings of love and care
that say I’m here and you are not alone
I’m like an alien in a familiar world
looking on but feeling I’m not there
Time passes by – slowly by day but quickly by year
not doing anything to ease the loneliness and pain
I fill my days as best I can and smile and laugh
so no-one knows sometimes I feel insane!
They say it is best to have loved and lost, how do they know
It is thirteen years of heartache and sorrow
when oh when will it be less – they always say tomorrow
TOMORROW NEVER COMES!!!
