The Lonely Path

Days can become quite long
as many take the solitary
stroll along the lonesome, lonely
stretch of widowhood lane.
A whole new unexplored vista
suddenly appears before
unprepared eyes.
And...
it is a shock!
So...
what to do?
Which way to turn?
From whom to learn?
Well...
one could embark by taking one step...
thence continue moving in a forward direction.
Now would seem an ideal opportunity
to seek and expand new horizens.
Meet and greet new folks.
Pursue new activities in new areas.
Let a smile be your umbrella 
as you try to have fun
while you still have time under the sun.

Particularly for couples married a long time, when one departs, it can be a lonely experience. But as your poem suggests, new opportunities will appear if one just begins, "taking one step…"

A very positive poem for the on left behind, John . . . Wish I'd had you around when I lost Dottie, I sorta became a recluse . . .

thence continue moving in a forward direction",
