Love Poem: Why What Now

Why What Now

when i was younger
i was in much a hurry
to pair up and fill the void
to find a mate and start a family

it didn’t happen but 
that’s another story
and soon time passed 
and it would never be

life went on and i had faith
one day eventually
i would get lucky and find true love
a soulmate to complete me

i found him or he found me
i knew nothing could compare
till one day he was summoned 
and called to heaven

our days were numbered 
then i was alone again
but he had been generous
and filled my heart with love

so now it’s come to this
nearing the sunset of my journey
once you’ve had true love 
what’s left i ask
