I have been without a wife for many years.
This is of my own choosing.
Since I was considered old when my wife died,
Women were not attracted to me.
Never the less life must go on.
It was difficult for me to be single.
I had no one to share my thoughts
With and know theirs as well.
Making friends with other women helps.
As there are many women with same problem.
Friendship, in some cases, can be very good.
Sharing feelings with a person helps a lot.

You have weathered the single life very well as you expressed in this poem.
