I wonder

I Wonder

I go out for lunch,

Several movies I watch

But the sorrow 

Doesn't seem to diminish

I wonder,

When this sorrow will vanish?

I laugh with my kids,

Several songs with them I sing

What real happiness

To my heart will bring?

I cook yummy dishes,

Shop for worldly things

What will lessen this sorrow,

Can you think of such a thing?

I know you won't come back ever

Won't something make me happy forever?

You were my greatest strength

With you I could talk at length

I can never forget you, however I wish

My sorrow may never diminish

Sleepless nights I will spend

For several days on end

Will my grief ever come to an end?

Is there happiness.... around the next bend?
