An Old Man's Pain

In solitude he is thinking of them all Children rather go to shopping mall. Babies they were blabbering Or became sick and were crying. How hard it was to nurture them Now it's not the love garden? Outside cold wind is biting his skin Worse, his pain is biting within. "Why, Why have they left me alone?" He wished they were never born. His heart growing pale like the moon Yearns to speak to someone soon. He's so down and grown so weak They are so unkind, whom to seek. Trees stand like silhouettes up the sky And only his faithfull dog sits beside. Passers-by just turn to see him Like bright stars above are peaking. "Are we not all born to die?" "Why does loneliness make us cry?" He sits still thinking why he's alive All his friends gone, he survives. At last, his heart offers a prayer He wishes his wife were together.
