Romeo and Juliet Nowdays May Keep Alive
Romeo and Juliet
Loved each other much
But for their family's sake,
Decided not to stay in touch.
Unfulfilled love
Day by day grows
Not one life lost in vain
Not one to have grief's big pain.
Quite a while after
Romeo and Juliet did meet again
Some tea with no sugar
Happily shared.
Over a hundred pictures, (familly stuff)
They talked cried and laughed.
It looked like
Were having the most happy time
Of their entire life!
But time's runing fast
Day almost fades
To drive her back home
Her granddaughter came.
With tears in eyes
A kiss on one cheek
Few hugs and good byes
Both try hard not to cry.
Last glance at his sparkling eyes
Gently touches his cheek
Then, mistakenly like,
Runs out with his walking stick.
Not much to pass
From this side ready to depart
With one of her last breath
Asks for the cane.
Her hand clenched on cane
Embraced it and asked
To be kept by her side
In the grave.
Then kisses good bye
All family: one by one
And last, with a smile,
..The Cane.
