Mark Hughes Poet Rhyme

Hopes On Hold

I look way back on times so great
our lives so good, there's no debate.

But change did come, it did occur
a cancer came without a cure.

Took from me all that mattered
my life in shambles, completely shattered.

I sit alone with thoughts of you
not really knowing what to do.

I gaze upon star-lit skies
do wonder where my true love lies.

Religion plays, no time was spent
agnostic views, is how I'm bent.

Perhaps a chance again for us
'tis faith, dictates, in god we trust.

Jan Allison August 2, 2017 at 6:42 AM Absolutely heartbreaking in so many ways Mark - from reading your other poems I interpret this as religion as being the cancer that tore your lives apart:-( hugs jan xx Mark Hughes August 2, 2017 at 6:50 AM Jan, actually cancer took my wife from me. I am not a religious man, so I can only hope there is a second chance for us. Thank you for reading and commenting, much appreciated!
