Poem
Have you ever listened to the talks of an old man? Who was getting ready to go to never-never land He sits and talks about his extensive life And if married he talks about his wife She was a magnificent woman he will say But only if she has already gone away For the ones that are still alive and well These men wish they would go to hell What is it about a woman that we love so much? Is it their glaze or their tender touch? We curse the earth when they are alive and well And miss them dearly when they have gone to dwell Then a new love does arise That completely takes a man by surprise He would do anything you see Even get down on his knee The days go by and then the years Living through laughter and the tears When you find the one you love the most Treat her well even when she’s a ghost The girl I have met I can finally see She was the one that was meant for me There is no anger and no pain Only a chance to live once again To you my dear I can honestly say I want to be with you everyday Even if I’m about to die I will always love you that’s no lie So when I am old and fading away I will boast about you on these days Remembering all the good we have had Even when you were making me mad We only have one life so it would seem That all we can possibly redeem Is the happiness that we have found When one of us is no longer around Duane A.
