Life Can Be So Sad Poem by Joyce Hemsley

More handsome than a movie star
Your sepia portrait stands apart
Affecting my life each morn and night
imprinted upon this aching heart.

Silver hair caressing your face
Eyes alive with magical glow
Charm that could launch a thousand loves
You were my darling. I loved you so.

Adored even more than you were before
In the hidden gallery of my heart
Where nobody goes ~ nobody knows
That you are my secret work of art.

Your beautiful portrait will ever be
Here at my bedside comforting me.
But deep in my soul, I will always be
Crying a river because I lost thee.
