Old Man In The Cemetery


to the old man in the cemetery

Slowly his old hands drop the flowers.
as he dictates his love to his wife.
he comes here twice a week.
Tears come to the wrinkles in the corner of
his eyes.
His feet give out and he falls to his knees
an old man begins to bawl.
Tears hit the polished stone imprinted by
by her name.
Oh how he misses her. his memory is fading
and he hopes her face with stay with him.
He stands up shaking with emotion.
An old man in a cemetery comes twice a week.
Proclaims his love to his wife, and
oh how he misses her.
