POEM #306
SIXTY YEARS CAGED
Sixty years caged,
Happily engaged.
True love when started,
Soon was departed.
My young years vanished,
Now forever banished.
Heart broken with grief,
Is there no relief?
Nothing for me here,
Do I stay from fear?
Can happiness be found?
Or am I sadness bound?
A coward won't leave,
Stay and cling and cleave.
Cheating was the crime,
Stealing years of time.
Starting over again,
Where, how do I begin?
Sixty years of my life,
Given a untrue wife!
Shouting out my plea,
Find someone for me!
