Love
The widowed goose
Glides through air
That last summer
Carried his mournful cries
To swim where he once swam
As one of many
And landed always with his partner.
Faithful,
He glides through the pond
Day and night
Searching,
I think.

ReplyDeleteSandy, I believe your poet.
ReplyDeleteI truly believe that death of a partner hits the male harder than when the roles are reversed.
Dad was a widower for nine years. His burning question was why am I still here.
