    Poem Commentary

    I was single till 38 got married to an older woman 48. I loved her she died and I cried forever

    What can I do?

     The world is in such turmoil
    A real mucking fuddle
    "Friends" stab eachother in the back
    For what I say, to get ahead surely not
    Shadows of disease loom about
    Man in his tragic way steals from self
    I have no money to donate to causes
    Barely have enough to feed myself
    I was broken when but a teen
    Now they say I am disabled
    I am 46 years old sad, alone, reaching
    Reaching for something to keep me from drowning,
    What can I do?

    The polwers that be stole the life of my wife,
    Now they try to take mine
    I was only married for 3 years
    Some have told me 3 years too long
    They know not of the true meaning of love.
    I wept as the lifeless shell of my wife lay near.
    My heart always sheds silent tears
    What can I do?

    To gain some strength and encouragement read the bible,especially The Psalms.There are many insightful ideas that give comfort and offer beautiful advice on how to life a good life.Also pray daily for the answers that you need and God will help you.Celebrate all of the beauty in life and in nature and treasure the special moments you have shared with your one true love.God has a purpose in all of our lives and the exciting part of life is discovering what that is.

    tempestlady is right. celebrate her life and celebrate your own. believe me , i know it's hard and dark, but the rewards, however small, are worth it when we win those small battles.

    Wonderful imagery. Cook her favorite dish, let her guide you in your actions, sing her favorite songs, and honor her. Do for yourself what she would have done for you, in so doing love yourself, then you can find someone else who can love you. Go to the YMCA, and swim. Write on......

    Tempestlady may you be blessed. I am pretty much over the grieving Thank you for the suggestions.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
