Bob Quigley Poet Rhyme

Wait For Me

The little boy in overalls
Trying to keep up
With the older children
Cry's “ Hey you guys, wait up”
“Wait For Me”

She had just finished high school
And was ready to move on
She tightly hugged her boyfriend
And implored him “while I'm gone”
“Wait For Me”
  
The soldier kissed his little boy
And told him he must go
He said “take care of mommy
I'll be back before you know”
“Wait For Me”

The gray haired man knelt  down and gazed
At the name etched on the stone
My days are without purpose
Now that you've gone on alone
“Wait For Me”

Life's moments are so fleeting
“Wait For Me”

Carolyn Devonshire November 7, 2011 at 5:10 PM Bob, at some point we are all reunited in the afterlife. The scenarios you created in your verses were very touching, especially the soldier and the elderly man looking at his wife's grave. Kept thinking about the movie "Heaven Can Wait" while reading this exemplary poem! Love, Carolyn Bob Quigley November 7, 2011 at 10:58 PM Very nice of you. Thank you Carolyn
