Young Andy Poem by Francis Duggan

Of love the singers in their songs may sing
But for some love can be a heartbreaking thing
A sadder young man than Andy i have not seen
Since he was forsaken by the one he loves Josephine
Since she left him for another six months have gone by
But for another relationship he does not even try
The mental pain of lost love it can linger for years
And Andy for Josephine has shed lots of tears
It does seem between him and Josephine that love was one way
But time is the great healer as some like to say
And Andy will learn from this lesson in life
That the one you love most may not become your wife
And young Andy at twenty two a few years short of his prime
Will get over the ache of lost love in due time.
