The old man sat on his porch
watching the sun fade away,
His mind wanders off;
thinking about a happier day.
He remembers a time....
when love was all he knew,
He was so afraid to tell her then;
that his love was true.
She told him that one day
he would let his guard down,
she waited patiently....
for his love to come around.
And then one winter day
fate would play her hand,
with the knock on a door;
his dreams would turn to sand.
A man from her past
professed his love to her,
with a diamond in his hand;
old feelings he would stir...
She accepted his offer eagerly
and ran away with this man,
He let her go without a fight;
to proud to take a stand.
His life went by quickly
like a warm summer day,
he spent his life alone;
because of words he could not say.

dear Beth: This such a sad story. The age old one of unrequited love. You tell it with a sad beauty and grace. love, Mom

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Words for some are hard to find that's true.......but your words are caring and to realise this dilemma is a wonderful thing indeed....well written LL

Beth,
You are so right, we have to seize the opportunities before us before they slip away and become regets. This is written so well with a message so clear. This tale is sad but also wisdom to those that will listen. Thank you!

Thank you for your responses...this poem was inspired by a re-occuring dream I keep having...only I am in the position the old man is in...

one thing i try always to say is..."i love you" ..what good can come of not letting someone know that...

hope your dream does not come true LL..dont let love belong to another when it is rightfully yours if only you will grab hold of it

good writing..hugs, dg
