A Man Stood Part I
A Man Stood Part I Story/poem
A man stood by his window, looking out into the world.
Already in his twilight years, his gaze was kind of lost -
as he wondered - where has my youth gone?
A man stood by his window, thinking about his past life.
once he had a family. It didn't last too long. Out of three
children, he lost two. One died at birth, the other died in
a fire with his wife.
He got to save his older daughter, by jumping out of a
second story window. He too got burned some and they both
spend a long time in the hospital. His daughter was ten years
old. he never got married again.
A man stood by his window, thinking about an old love. He
never knew what happened to her all he knew was that he
had another daughter by her. In his mind, he knew that he
had loved her, but she left when he didn't marry her. He knew
now that he had made a mistake, but it was too late.
A man stood by his window, looking out into the world. He's
thinking, about his daughter - grown up and married, living a
happy life. That is the daughter he saved. He looks in the
mirror and knows, that he has gotten old.
He has a lot of money and lives in a big house. Only a cat keeps
him company. He don't have many friends. A man stands by his
window, thinking about his past love and the daughter he has.
he wonders if he will ever see them, or if they will just stay in
the past...
