I Have Not Lived My Life Alone Poem by GREENWOLFE 1962
I Have Not Lived My Life Alone
I have not lived my life alone
Lonely though I be.
I'm satisfied, just as I am,
To share the world with thee.
No one knows, and I won't tell,
The truth about our lives;
And how it is I've managed to
Make sure our love survives.
I have been told today of you,
And of your latest trial.
And so it was, I once again,
Stared lonely at your smile.
It made me think that once again
It's time to shed a tear.
Ere I should lose them all at once
If you should leave me here.
And so I turned the little valve
So they would flow a bit.
And prayed to God He'd see my pain,
And take some note of it.
It's in this way, though far apart,
I'm still quite near to you.
For when I cry, I feel again;
My love, all through and through.
In sharing in your joy or pain,
Though oh so far apart;
I still can feel the warmth and love
That lies within your heart.
So I shall shed a tear or two,
And keep the rest at bay.
I'll surely need them all at once,
Should you depart one day.
The only hope for my escape,
From drowning in their flow.
Is leaving soon enough; that I'll
Have left, before you go.
Only God, in mercy knows;
What this life has in store.
Whenever this one ends for us.
I'll pray, we'll share, one more.
I really enjoyed reading this. You write the kind of poetry I enjoy reading, actually the kind I've enjoyed most of my life. Ron
This is a very well written poem. It conjures up thoughts of people that I have felt close to in my life
This is the way true love speaks...to reach there before his love reaches...another classical piece.
