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…"
This exceptional book, Celebrating the Gift of Being Alive, has the perfect thoughts and words for birthdays, graduations, engagements, marriages, and any life celebration or family tradition.
