Poem Title:
Poem
It was cold and windy, always seemed to be the same whenever he dug out a grave and often it would rain. Grave digging was something he knew someone had to do that was his job and he always took pride in doing it too. People knew him in the village where he’d made his home this strange young man, who was always on his own. But he was just a lonely man, as harmless as can be who wanted to live a normal life, just like you or me. The girls always made fun of him and were a little cruel he looked a bit simple and they treated him like a fool, When he tried to tell them, a new joke he’d heard one day they wouldn’t listen to him and just told him to go way. Looking for company, he’d be in the village every day he’d try to talk to the girls, but they would just walk away. Really he just wanted a girlfriend like any other guy not wanting to be alone until the day he would die. Most evenings he would spend at home on his own without any one to talk to, not even a call on his phone. But just the other day, while he was in the churchyard checking out a plot he was to dig for a Mister Trenchard. A young girl said hello to him, the first person to that day and she listened very carefully to him and what he had to say. Her eyes watched him closely, reading his lips as he spoke. even smiling at his difficulty, in trying to tell her his joke. They started to spend time together, she with the silence she knew he with all his strangeness and their for each other just grew. He would look at her so tenderly as they walked off hand in hand and then they’d gently kiss each other, like any couple in the land. Happily their lives were changing, knowing the love they’d found and now you hear him singing, as he digs his holes in the ground.
