Blue Eyes With a Broken Heart

As I age I wonder if I will always be alone I have become somewhat of a hermit My heart has been broken so many times Many have died and love I have lost Though my life I have had much love But slowly one by one disappeared Alone other then the family I helped to create Who now have families of their own I sit and can only remember more happy days For the time today goes by very slow While the years move faster and faster Thinking about yesterday when I was not alone Sad I am not just wondering where time has gone Waking up alone and going to sleep alone I have had to get use to Someday my bed will be in a box six feet underground We all die alone

Bobby, I hear you loud and clear. The days do grind by, while the years fly. And the loneliness is felt... But come on, you (and I) have got to hang on... I've resolved to find a couple activities beside the poetry, more social activities, to get involved in. I'll keep you posted! Best wishes, Gershon
