What If Land
What if Land
Here I am
at seventy-two,
lonely realizing
that I miss you.
Time flies fast
when you
are young
in a flash
your life is over
and done.
By accident
I met you
one day.
At last no longer,
I needed to pray.
My soul was filled
with pure delight,
before too long
you were my wife.
You loved me
like breathing
fresh air.
With each gasp
to breathe,
I was there.
We had
those struggles
like you do,
but never a day
did you seem blue.
Each challenge
was tackled,
like riding
a roaring wave.
We had sunshine,
yet.. there was rain,
I never perceived
you in such pain.
Remembering
some wonderful times,
your loss is enormous
I cannot deny.
‘What if’
I had not
seized that chance
thirty seconds
to convince you
to dance.
You said ‘WHY not!!’
without a second thought
as wholeheartedly
in to me
you bought.
I learned a lesson
with others
I want to share,
What if land
is filled
with many
a tear.
