Entertainer’s Widow

Entertainer’s Widow

I have no reason to write

I need only to say

When you are out of my sight

I think of you every day

When you are with me the whole world seems in tune

When we are apart nothing seems to matter

I hope we are together soon

I couldn’t begin to feel sadder

I know your work is needed

The world must know of you

But while your work is feted

I sit at home feeling blue

But someday soon you’ll come home to me

Then all the world will see that you belong to me

Wondering

Wondering

I’ve lost my footing along the way

I no longer hold my head up high

Would anyone wonder why?

Whether at work or at play

No longer able to throw cares away

Ever wondering why

This has to be the way

Life is lived in brief spans

Mine seem to be mainly tired

Longing for holding of hands

Filled with a burning desire

But eminently lacking in plans

Ending in a gulf of fire

Priorities

When with friends we smile and say

Forget the work and cease the day

We need love to guide the way

So call in sick or stay away

Before, with stress, you fade away

So with friends we smile and stay

Tomorrow’s work will go away

If you doubt it, then look away

You need a love to guide your way

Can you question what I say,

That priorities have gone to hay?

When with friends we smile say,

We no longer need love to guide the way!
