This a poem for widows and widowers. I call it A Unique Group because there is only one unhappy way to become a member
A friend of mine just joined the club
Not many in this little hub
More oft its women who belong
And learn the music of this song
A sad lament that lingers on
And beats within the heart upon
Such special days as Valentines
And even when new loves intwine
The other lingers in the mind
When others join and newly find
This loss is hard and lingers still
E’n though the years pass by to fill
The heart with new love just as great
One cannot help but miss one’s mate
