A POEM: Just Be Happy For Me, by Joshua Nelson
All I ask is for you guys to love me—it’s hard, I know, but just open your eyes and see.
When your mother died—it’s been just me and you guys,
Sleeping in my room with the four walls where my heart hides.
I thought no one would ever look at me and smile.
Then I saw someone that had a certain sparkle in her eyes.
She is young. I’m reminded of it every day, but she gives me life; this heart pumps every day.
I have grandkids and a great-grand on the way—I needed something
To hold, a partner who will never go away.
Just try to understand. I’m old, a fool of a man, but this love, I feel it again.
The walls have fallen and I’m shining more than I was in the beginning.
She will never replace your mother; that woman was a queen like no other.
I’m passing away slowly.
She and my children are the only things that are keeping my eyes open.
Who thought I would love?
Just please let me experience this gift from above.
As old as I am and as young as she is, love holds no age; it lives on past the end of time.
