Cruel Fate
They were so happy
What more could they ask for
Life was good and they were content
He looked like him
And she like her
All was well
All was fine
But then it started like any other
That soon passes away
But alas it was not to be
And gradually he withered away
Till the breath taken from him
A mercy be.
Now clad in black
She kneels beside his mound
And mourns pitifully
With none to console her
Save two braces
On either side
That are innocent
And uncomprehending
