HER LONG LIFE
(c) 2018 Edward York
Her life had been a long one,
Her body weak and tired.
The days that she\'s had lately,
Have all been uninspired.
She has spent her lifetime working,
And survived through every test.
But her life has been so lonely,
Since her husband was laid to rest.
Her days had just seemed longer,
Her nights were longer still.
The solitude that surrounded her,
Had taken all her will.
Her life had lost its meaning,
Left with just memories instead,
She longed to join her husband,
Who had traveled on ahead.
She had entertained his visits,
In the subconscious world she\'d slip.
He had come to give her comfort,
And prepare her for the trip.
