It Was Such A Sad Thing

It was such a sad thing to see the old man in tears At the death of the woman he had loved for years The mother of his children the great love of his life For fifty five years his devoted wife An octogenarian she was eighty three When two weeks ago of a massive heart attack she died suddenly Death came without warning she had not been unwell How much he does miss her words could never tell A sad poor old fellow bald headed and gray He wept as he sat on the park bench today Tears at the loss of his dearest friend The life journey for her had come to an end I passed by him in his grief as i went on my way For to comfort him i did not have words to say.
