First steps...first smiles
School days... holiday smiles.
Teen years...puppy love.
Graduation...life anew.
Freedom...elation...ones own choices.
That walk down the isle.
Future...hope...tranquility.
Children...joys...sorrows.
Sleepless nights...first smiles.
School days...holiday smiles.
Sudden endings...all because...
Forever never comes...
it was never meant to be...all alone.
It was...again, just me.
