My daughter’s new daughter
How precious and sweet
Beautifully perfect
From her head to her feet
...
Sipping his drink
As he sits on the bed
Rubbing his eyes
And scratching his head
...
As I lie here awake
Alone in my bed
Thoughts of last night
Start to run through my head
...
He sits drinking coffee
In his usual chair
Just within arms reach
But he’s not really there
...
As you get older
You start to expand
You try not to notice
Your extending waistband
...
There’s a void deep inside me
Life’s drifting away
The emptiness hurts more
With each passing day
...
