To all those who have been widowed

My days have turned to nights
And my nights are even darker
I feel so alone and sad
Since you died, Mrs Parker

I sit all day and think about
All the lovely times we shared
And how you showered me with love
Showing with actions you cared

And at night I lie awake
Sometimes crying quietly
And hug the cushion tight
Imagining you are next to me

Mr Parker is my name
But without you it seems too long
Now that you have left
I feel part of me has gone

But now I remember, yes it’s coming back
How you would want us to be in peace
And that you would now want for me
To be calm, stress free, at ease

So I’ll let your love lift me my love
And help me do good work, positively
And soon enough we’ll meet again
Me holding you, you holding me

Saqib Hussain
