My November Man

 Sixteenth November … sixteen years!

Since he passed on and I shed tears

Time flutters by – deep sadness steals;

I play again my memory reels…

 

This, now ‘heavenly’, birth date

Recalls my much loved, much missed, mate

Who made my humble heart complete,

As each day I had happy feet!

 

Now down life’s corridors I roam

The only echoing – my own

Bold avenues I still explore

But differently, as he’s no more …
