Laura Leiser Poet Rhyme

Outlines of Time

He was a kind man, hurt by life
                                       She, a caring widow
                                 Together, sweet love so tender
                                    Two souls, outlined by hope.

                               Yet outlines of time have strange plans 
                                     His limp hand she now clings
                                As he lies silent near death's door
                                      She hears the angels sing.
