John Loving Iii Poet Quatern

Walking

i walk this world alone
having had what i had
the blessing of a life time
and the glory so few have had
when i kneal and pray
it never is for play
in my heart i am sincere
this year He has made it clear
that He was there all of the time
can i ask Him for a mate
and hope that i don't forsake
the one i had for a while
would that cramp my style
sometimes i shake and shiver
having tears in eyes delivered
and wonder where do i go now
while the world waits and whispers
the lonely, they wait, the widows, they wait
for me to rejoin the world
and some have seen the other side
the side i see and regret to leave
where will i go and transplant my heart
who will receive what i wanted to give someone else
and try to make it hers alone
who will pick up where she left off
as if she was already made
can i fall in love again
i'm not sure if it's even legal

Elizabeth Wesley September 7, 2011 at 8:12 PM I think you were born to be a lover John, don't be so hard on yourself. Aside from that, you penned a great verse on the vagaries of love.

Phyllis Babcock August 15, 2011 at 4:01 PM God walks with us each step of the way. If it is meant to happen you will find that special someone to share your life again. Nice poem about love and loving. Phyl

Carolyn Devonshire July 22, 2011 at 9:48 AM We are never really alone with God by our sides, John. I, too, am reluctant to ask for a second chance at love. Almost seems like I'd be betraying my late husband. But surely, we are happiest when we find love and our lost loved ones want us to feel joy again. Love and blessings always, Carolyn
