Requium for a Widow (For Merile)

She goes day to day with out purpose or dreams
mindful of what other people may see.
A hope for the future a tear for the past
wanting a friend ship, this time one that will last
Going thru motions of living thru life
she know in her heart that somethings not right
They all see a smile some think she is free
they think what is true ..she has all she will need
When the crowds have all gone and the laughter is done
a tear and a sigh take the place of someone
Someone to hold her. all thru the night
to talk to and touch her... make all things so right
But alas ....it won't happen as soon as she needs
so with thoughts of the past she wonders and grieves
She once had a love so precious and dear
it seems like he left her to make do what is here
Alone and afraid she lives day to day
still mindful of what others may say
So she looks to no future .......sheds a tear for the past.
and will go thru the motions ........til dying at last.
