L Milton Hankins Poet Acrostic

Living Alone

Life is uneventful
In my house
Very quiet without my spouse,
Indeed, I’d be so happy to have her back
Never knew how much I’d miss her
Giving she’s been gone three years now.

All I can tell you is,
Love them with all your heart
Openly and freely while you can
Now that she’s gone I wish I had done more
Each day that passes, I love her more.

Bill Baker April 12, 2022 at 7:59 AM I pray for peace and comfort for all you that live on beyond your loved ones, Milt. I guess you're stuck with your poetry soup family now. :-) Have a good day! Bill L Milton Hankins April 12, 2022 at 8:45 AM I reckon so, Bill. And, they are a positive group with good influences on me. I have a niece who lives close and some dear friends who keep me motivated. Thanks, Bill. Hope you have a marvelous, productive, and enjoyable week.
