The People Who Are Without Love Poem by Francis Duggan

The people who are without love how lonely they must be
Since the need for love is in us all including you and me
The writers of it love to write the singers of it sing
And love which comes in many forms is an amazing thing
The love of a mother for her child the love of sweethearts and man and wife
But the saddest thing for anyone is when love dies in their life
I pity those who have lost love of loneliness they do know
The ache of lost love lives for years and seems to grow and grow
In us all there's the need for love that is our human way
And that loneliness replaces love does seem so sad to say
The lucky one who knows of love is of contented mind
It has been said where love does live that happiness you'll find
The people who are without love in spirits feeling down
They even find it hard to smile the sad sacks of the town.
