Life goes on.

rhyming quatrains

Life goes on.

 

This is an anniversary.

She certainly won’t celebrate.

But can’t expunge the memory

Of the day she lost her mate...

 

One minute laughing happily.

The next he laid dead at her feet.

An unexpected tragedy.

His heart had simply ceased to beat.

 

 

He’d had a massive heart attack

Which must have killed him instantly.

There was no way to bring him back.

He was dead irrevocably.

 

Support from friends and family.

Enabled her to carry on.

But no amount of sympathy

 can change the fact that he has gone...

 

The dreams they shared can never be.

For now, she has to dream alone.

She has to face reality.

 And face the future on her own/

 

The second anniversary

Of the sad day her partner died.

Although she’s smiling publically.

She is still grieving deep inside.

 

The passing years may numb the pain

And set her free eventually.

Allowing her to dream again

Although it happens gradually.

 

She’s not too old to start anew

 to find someone with whom to share.

A new dream which could come true.

If she is brave enough to dare.

 

But in her heart there’ll always be.
A private place she cannot share

That’s sacred to the memory

Of her lover gone elsewhere.
