No-one now to share your dreams,
To walk beside those mountain streams,
To hold your ailing, trembling hand,
To write sweet nothings in the sand;
No-one to whisper “I love you”,
To keep you warm the winter through,
To share with you first buds of spring,
To show their love in a wedding ring.
No-one at home for you to say,
“I missed you my love, at work today”
To sit together at evening meal,
To tell each other just how you feel,
No-one there to forgive you gladly,
All those times you behaved so badly,
To visit your own sweet secret place,
Suspended somewhere in time and space.
No-one knows how much you cared,
Just you two and the time you shared,
Memories now left of bygone years,
The good times, bad, and all the tears.
No-one realizes just how lonely,
When ‘we two’… becomes ‘me only’,
God loans us soul mates, for a fleeting while,
Through His loving Grace…once again we’ll smile.
Like a river of flowing gems.....beautiful crisp lines deep in feeling that touch many hearts my friend.....very well composed poem...really does flow so well Alf....great work as always 10+++
Alf this poem is so poignant yet beautiful with a gentle word flow that only you can so effortlessly manage to write. I agree with Henry even a 10+++ cannot do justice to this wonderful piece.
Your poem made me realize just how difficult it would be to be lonely as you express the love one shares with another in everyday life. It is beautifully crafted in rhythm and rhyme and your message is delivered so creatively. 10 Karin Anderson
All good things have an end. To live until one’s own end is unfortunate. The poem says it all. Very good.

Perhaps the Lord will bless me with a soulmate someday Dad, love you so much! Moo
Alf, A Lovely poem full of longing, full of love which I enjoyed reading. Bob
Your message is delivered with such sweet tenderness that the emotion of loss wells up from the very first line written Alf. For those with a soulmate, may your message bring the importance of patience and loving care before it is too late. I can only say to be loved like this is what we all live for - G-d Bless you...
