Their Song by John David Meadows

 Their Song 

  He sits alone 

In the shade 

  His mind begins to roam

Recalling happier days. 

  Blank face turns into a smile 

Even a light chuckle 

  He grins for a while 

Begins cracking his knuckles. 

  Rubbing his old hands 

Taps on his ring 

  Still wears his wedding band 

Lightly begins to sing. 

  "Unchanged Melody "

It was their song 

  Lost now in misery 

Death has left him all alone.
