he sits
and stares
somewhere
out there's
there by the window
and what does he see?

or he sits
there by the back glass doors
for hours
he sits & stares
out there's
and nothing more's

or he eats
or he sleeps
he goes deep's
to the depth
of his loneliness

at night
it's just the news
and wheel of fortune
still a lonely tune
payin' his dues
for still havin' a life
without her
without his wife
of 64 years
silently
he sheds his tears
silently
he fears his fears

there
where
he stares
each day
thinkin' about the way
it used to be
rememberin'
when he could see
when he could be
with her
just thinkin' of
his life's love

but now she's gone
and he's all alone

sittin' & starin'
bbarin'
his days

now folks
that is
True Love's Ways
