A Lonely Man

Unfounded were his concerns About the need for ample finances Marriage to the woman for whom he yearns To share his life's remaining pages. So the inevitable became probable And giving up was the easy option Goodbyes always hurt loving people Haunting memories linger like poison. Now traveling alone he felt lonely His heart weighed heavy with deep longings His ambition to be rich and be wealthy Was accomplished, yet something was missing. Without his lady love, it was barren For possessions will never proxy that part. True Love when lost does not come again All the things in this world cannot fill the heart. ' A man's life does no consist in the abundance of his possessions, ' LUKE 12: 15 Copyright Cynthia Buhain-Baello January 2010 Philippines
