sorrow

So peaceful,just the sound
Of birds in the trees
A graveyard silence
Loved ones rest in peace.

Old man with flowers in hand
I seen him stand in prayer
He seems so sad
Some words of comfort.

Sorrow in his eyes
Losing his loving Wife
Not so long ago
I had seen them together.

Now time just drifts away
Looks at me with sadness in his face
A tear from his eye
She was his partner,best friend.

Driving home, his words came back to me
Words from the heart
He was a gentleman, of the very best.

As night in desperate quiet,
My soul speaks to God
"Keep the ones I love,
Safely in your wings".
