BROWN STAINED FINGERS
YELLOW STAINED TEETH
60 YRS GONE, RESTING IN PEACE
WHAT A LIFE THIS MAN SAW
ONLY TO BE PUSHED ASIDE AND IGNORED
WASTED LIFE OF TEARS AND PAIN
SUNDAY ROASTS, SUNDAY RAIN
REPEATED OVER AND AGAIN
NO DIFFERENCE IN THOSE 60YRS
ALWAYS THE SAME
ONCE RESPECTED AS A WORKING MAN
WANTED AS A LOVER, WANTED AS A MAN
ONLY ONE LOVE, ONLY ONE WIFE
TEMPTED NOW AND THEN,
BUT NEVER THOUGHT TWICE
HANDSOME CHAP HE ONCE WAS
HIS ONLY LOVE ALSO GONE
A VISIT NOW AND THEN, BY THE SAME FACE HE ONCE HAD
NOW HE HAS GONE
HIS SON WATCHES THE COFFIN BEHIND IN THE CAR
NOW HIS GONE, MEMORIES ARE ALL THATS LEFT
NO MORE SUNDAY ROASTS
NO MORE YELLOW STAINED TEETH
ONCE THIS CHERISHED LIFE, NOW CEASES TO EXIST

Lovely tribute
this was written many yrs ago, I thought it would be nice to get the oldies out, its all relative, there always empathy within, poetry does it for me, writing is mine no one else's mine , I feel like a ripple of positivity does the world good thankyou for the compliment
reminds me of a person I knew a long time ago, he is timeless now and knows answers to life's greatest questions. Im sorry for your loss, in ink we find comfort in time we find healing. Love the poem
