A Wish Is Granted.A Poem by MarieThe old man sits in his chair The living room is crowded right up to the door It’s a very special occasion for him He’s never had a Birthday Party before So, family and friends came together that night To ensure that everything turned out right Cards and gifts were given in plenty Received with a smile but his heart was empty His Mary had died only last year With sadness, the memory, now caused a tear He blew out the candles on his Birthday cake In silence, for a moment, a wish he did make Then, there was music and laughter so mighty But he sat alone, feeling his years of eighty All of a sudden, he saw her there The light shining on her, dancing glints in her hair With arms outstretched she invited him to dance He rose from his chair, not to miss his chance In her arms he felt happy, so joyous, no care They danced to the music, with elan and flair Everyone shocked at his collapse on the floor A doctor is called, but he is no more His wish has been granted by "The Birthday Fairy" In Spirit, he dances with his beloved Mary. © 2024 MarieFeatured Review
