The Noble and the lonely

Being noble is not always the way to go, When telling the one you love to go Because you think you know, What is best for the one you love, Even though you Know, You will end up lonely without her love. Never knowing what she thought was best, Before you sent her west. Being lonely is never for the best, When you let go one of the best, Because you thought you knew best. I think you may have failed that test, And now all you can do is go to your rest, Lonely at best, And raising a glass to your knowing best, At worst.

David, I enjoyed reading this poem. We likely have all had opportunities to be with people that may have been just right, but sent them away. Hard to really know since these relationships never have a chance to play out if we end them this way. Hope you are well and sending smiles half way around the world!

Sorry took so long to reply to this one Duke. Your comment thoughtful and honest take on subject of poem. January will go down as not a good start to 2025 with fires in LA and other examples of nature at wildest. For myself happy to be cancer free and spending time with identical Twin boys to our eldest daughter. They will be 6 months in another week.They both have two front teeth already.
