She wondered if he’d love her when she
was old and no longer beautiful
sadly he was gone long
before she got old
he cheated on her
she left him
when she got old and
no longer beautiful
alone, she never found
a man to stay with her
she didn’t have the luck
to find the right one
but it no longer matter
she had no desire to
be with or please an
unpredictable man
she was content being
by herself and free
she had enough happiness
in her religion
her church friends
and her God.
Bob Boyd
