Poem of the Week


MISSED HER
By Ralph Adams

      My wife went to a shower
      Out of town today…
      I thought that this would be a good time
      To go out on the town to play

      I went to a friend's house

      My mind of golf to see
      If he would be my partner
      But he was out with his family

      I tried to do some shopping
      And on the computer play a solitaire game
      Took a walk down the street.
      But something didn't seem the same.
      My wife was not beside me…
      To talk and hold my hand…
      The world seemed to be a void
      This was not the day I planned.

      I took a walk in the garden
      Puttered here and there and tried to read
      Cut the grass around the house
      And pulled a few weeds.

      Something was lacking and I could see
      I was talking to the roses and talking to the trees.
      I am not used to this emptiness
      This time for me was not gay
      But my wife was only gone from me
      One little measly day.

      When the day was over
      And she came in the door
      A smile exchanged and I was glad
      And I told her of the wonderful day
      That I just had.
