A Lonely Man Laid Down In His Bed

A lonely man laid down in his bed

Written By Dean Masciarelli

A lonely man laid down in his bed

As he began to cry and grieve

Because his wife was no longer by his side

Because she had recently died

And he had lost all of his desires to live

And he really didn’t know how he could
possibly survive without her by his side

Because there was nothing in the world 
that he cherished more then his wife’s love

Because she loved him more then anyone did

As he loved her till the day that she died

But that night before he went to sleep 

He kneeled down by his bed side 

And he prayed to the Lord

To lift him up from 

The heavy burdens that he carried

So that the good Lord could 

Give him the strength that he didn’t have

So that he could continue to live without 
his wife by his side

Because he knew in his heart 
that is what 
his wife would have wanted

Sad write here. The loss of one's mate would be one of the hardest losses in a person's life. Keep writing. Sara
