A Sad Tale Poem by Meggie Gultiano

A very touching poem. Life is often like this. Every man has a destiny that is either invited by him or by some unseen course of events. While living in richness man forgets about the other side of life. And when we see such an enviable man in so poor conditions, we will certainly shed tears in reflection of the tides of life. Our heart cannot become a stone. And the tale continues in a universal manner. Let us pray that no man meets such a stage in life. This is all we can do.

An excellent poem.Be blessed.............10+++++++

This is certainly a sad tale, that you have told so well; unfortunately it is one that happens so often. Irene

Meggie, its a very sad tale, really. Its so sad that one dies alone, (am i taking these lines too literal?) But now all is gone, his family, his friends No one wanted to be in his company In pain, his drinking came to an end Your poem touches the heart of the reader. More power Meggie!

a very sad tale indeed... we cannot take anything for granted... when all is said and done, the love of family and friends is all that matters....

A sad tale indeed. This line, I stood there, by that lonely road again stands out and lingers in my mind. Loneliness pervades the whole scene and story.
