Wristwatch Waiting

While waiting for her this morning I looked to my watch to see it had stopped Why didn’t it work I wondered? I know its battery was new But yet, time for me had stopped. The last thing I remember I was crossing the street, But, I never reached the corner Yet, here I am, waiting for her. It is my fate to wait for her As in life I loved her For in my death as well I will wait for her Time has no meaning without her

Michael, you started out with a bit of humor but ended with a profound reflection. Great line -- "Time has no meaning without her." Thanks for sharing, Carolyn
