ODE TO KATH BY BOB LOWE
I am alone, now I know it's true
There was a time when we were two
Those were the days when we would chat
Doing little jobs of this and that
We'd go to the shops and select our meals
But now I'm one I know how it feels
To try and cook or have meals on wheels
The rooms are empty there's not a sound
Sometimes I'm lost and wander round
To look for jobs that I can do
To bring back the days when we were two
When darkness falls and curtains drawn
That's when I feel most forlorn
But I must be honest and tell the truth
I'm not quite alone and here's the proof
Because beside me in her chair
She quietly waits our time to share
Kath said to me some time ago
Darling when the time comes for us to go
Let's mix our ashes and be together
So we can snuggle up for ever and ever.

So sad :bawling:

:(

Aw.......it's sad and lovely at the same time.

My grandad lost my nan after 63 years of marriage and he was so lonely for the next 6 years before he passed away this year. That poem could have been written by him, he was forever moaning about his "one man dinners" aka microwave meals :love:

Beautiful and touching poem.
They were very lucky people to meet their soul mates.

Thinking of you waterhog :hug:

There are no soul mates

There are couples who look similar, have similar upbringings and parents and who are clever enough to realise that marriage is hardwork and effort. Mix that with luck and bingo.

That's kind of sad...

I don't agree, it won't surprise you to know.

That's a lovely poem, bless his heart.

:love:

Beautiful and touching........

Nah, I met my soul Mate. Nearly 38 years ago, and we are complete opposites in so many ways. Mind you, I do agree with you that it can be hard work and that you work at it.

So many people just tend to settle for someone they are infatuated with instead of waiting for their soulmate to pop along.
