He Mourns For Lucinda

He mourns for Lucinda the love of his life
For forty five years his devoted wife
She was in her late sixties and was ill for two years
And mention of her name still has him close to tears
Jim's children and grandchildren to him live nearby
But cancer of him his soulmate did deny
The kindest and dearest friend he ever knew
Those blessed with a soulmate have always been few
After long months of suffering she passed away
Last year in late Fall towards the end of the May
The memories with him of the happy years with her he had
To have to grow old without her for him is so sad
More than a devoted wife to him his greatest ever friend
But all things in life are destined for to end.
