The Normal Park Bench

The Normal Park Bench It was just a normal park bench Wood and metal It was like so many others Still, to him it was special The most special place on Earth It was where he met his only true love Where they met every day for lunch Where they shared their first of many kisses Where he first said “I love you” And where she agreed to be his wife They took their children and grandkids there to play And after years they still went there for lunch It was on that bench the she told him something Something he didn’t want to hear His only true love was dying And there was nothing they could do For years he went to the bench for lunch He talked to her as if she was still there One day he left a flower at lunchtime That bench never saw him again And once again, it was just a normal park bench Wood and metal It was like so many others
