James Horn Poet Couplet

On a Back Road Again

On A Back Road Again

Have been on a back road again
While I cannot remember when;
God created great girl for me
And sure was such a sight to see.

Soon back road reached its end
So this letter to her will send;
Remember guitar I once had,
Lost it one day and am so sad.

Reminds me of my love I lost
Around by her was being bossed;
She never wanted to be my wife
Went out and took her own life.

How I wish it never did occur;
It was I who God made for her,
And am now unhappy every day
Now that she has passed away.

James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran

Bonnie Hollywood-Cutts February 18, 2015 at 6:49 AM Reminds me of one I lost so many years ago. Though it wasn't his own doing . He was struck by a drunk driver throwing him from his motorcycle. I watched himdie in my arms. So this brought back those memories of pain and loss for me. As we were to be married . He had just proposed to me.my parents didn't even know yet. So I never shared that with them. James Horn February 18, 2015 at 9:12 AM Bonnie, There just seem to be so many traumatic things happening everyday. Just received one of your poems on another website and was trying to make a comment. It sure seems hard to do. Jim
