My Life

 

I had it all once

Was as happy as can be

A husband, two children

Content, that was me

Then life played its part

And things got in the way

Now I’m detached from that family

The man anyway.

My children are grown

And live their own lives

I see them sometimes

…If one of us drives

The rest of my family

All live miles away

I spend too much time

On my own day to day

There’s a lot in the news

About good mental health

It has nothing to do

With belongings or wealth

It’s the touch of a hand

Or a smile or a wave

A ‘hello’ a’ goodbye’

At some point in the day

To know that you’re worthy

To someone at least

Brings calmness and comfort

a welcoming peace.

That’s what I’m lacking

That’s what I miss

To wake to a cuddle

The gentlest of kiss

The plans for the day

Shared with someone I love

A walk in the park

Nothing huge to speak of

How hard can it be?

To find someone to share

Your life and your dreams with

Who’ll always be there.
