SAD FAREWELL
A loner, long years withered
quietly,
Accommodated loneliness
silently,
Knew it was my decision and
firm,
Let not me have children, a
family,
Preferred to be single passed
years,
Occasionally hunted a past,
tears,
Why do people marry? why not
for life,
Life is meant to tolerate,
cooperate,
Digesting rebuttal angry
outburst,
Passing quiet night sobbing,
moved,
Found with mother intense
caring,
The heart was loving divine
shine,
Infinite capacity to tolerate
blame,
Humiliations from a family,
poor,
Caustic on her upbringing
rustic,
Disliked my mother, her silent
nature,
Wished her husband with long
life,
The only son of my mother and
father rude,
Got a meritorious scholarship
for study,
Lightning stroke on our life
suddenly,
Mother passed out in her bed
sadly,
I felt alone from that day Dad
remarried,
My relationship with my father
was cut off,
I studied on loan higher
education,
Established in time, hate
family life,
Feared my vein blood flow
linked,
Linked to my father, tortured
mother,
My childhood only witness faced
agony,
Reminiscences tortured me and
reminded me,
Missing my mother passing
years,
Age at half-century birthday
arrived,
Offered a tiny dog with
fascinating colors,
Puffy whitish patch, bright
dark eyes,
I favored and accepted the
gift,
Found a new friend in life,
engaged,
Her care food walking in the
morning,
She grew fast, and a year is
over now,
She has become part of my life,
Office work hard labor tired at
home,
Relaxed by her friendly shout
jumps,
Hugged and licking fondly
obeyed,
Sit on my lap silently during
the evening,
She walks with me in a nearby
park,
Goes with me to malls for
marketing,
She traveled to many places
during the tour,
No problem, less I faced
difficulty,
Understanding attached a bond
unique,
Surprised my life is never
alone,
I have dinner, she touches her
food,
Wait till I sit on the table
and dine at night,
I sleep, she sleeps near me
comfortably,
She is my alarm clock in the
morning,
Bark softly awake me up duly
happy,
Use to walks in the morning, she
relieves,
Her bath heal care life
entangled,
It was my retirement day, and
she died,
Her sickness unknown quick
demise,
I buried her in the backyard
open ground,
A cement pedestal I built for
memory,
Her death, the day was
unforgettable,
Covered the place with flowers
and sat quietly,
A sad farewell to my only
friend, kin.
