Gloucester Daily Times
---- — In the pitch
Of moments’
Anger, frustration
Striving
For daily bread
I forget
‘Tis human
Her in her beauty
The grace she has
To offer
The balm of a smile
The answer of a kiss
‘Tis human
Nor does my wedding
Band nor hers
Nor gifts and tributes
To her abounding
Remind me
‘Tis human
When I am blind
To her love
And mine for her
In darkness
‘Tis human
Then I can only
Wait
For my mind to clear
My heart to open
‘Tis human
Puzzled at the strife
When it is over
Sorry for the time
When love was buried
Like a treasure
Hidden and forgot
