Grieving
Her hanging coat now adorns the hallway
The umbrella, pink, left within the stand
The rooms, now dark, windows hardly opened
As she had left me… lonely is this man
She had been ailing, weaker she had gotten
The doctor gave her six months at most to live
It wasn’t enough, her body gave up quickly
So now I live so deep within… I grieve
The rains of yesterday seem to be eternal
So, yes, I’ll keep her coat just where it stays
One day, maybe one day, I’ll go to see her
For now, I live in loneliness… and pray
I pray that God holds you to his side
To justify the many tears I’ve cried
