The Lonely Man
Our eyes meet and embraced
As you introduced your daughter to her grace
Your grandsons were straight and tall
Your pride and joy they are your all
I wondered where was your wife
As I looked at you more than twice
I should be ashamed
My husband has given me his name
I thought of you and your family
I thought how alone you could be
I did not know that you were eyeing me
Then I went into another room
When I returned on me zoomed
I have thought of you all week
I even thought of you in my sleep
