A Sad Tale Comments

Meggie, its a very sad tale, really. Its so sad that one dies alone, (am i taking these lines too literal?) But now all is gone, his family, his friends No one wanted to be in his company In pain, his drinking came to an end Your poem touches the heart of the reader. More power Meggie!

a very sad tale indeed... we cannot take anything for granted... when all is said and done, the love of family and friends is all that matters....

A sad tale indeed. This line, I stood there, by that lonely road again stands out and lingers in my mind. Loneliness pervades the whole scene and story.

There, but for the grace of God, go I. Thank you fot a lovely hartfelt poem. 10

wow. Thanks for the heads-up on this poem. This is a great work. It is such a touching and deeply moving work. Wonderful. Simply wonderful.

A very touching poem. Life is often like this. Every man has a destiny that is either invited by him or by some unseen course of events. While living in richness man forgets about the other side of life. And when we see such an enviable man in so poor conditions, we will certainly shed tears in reflection of the tides of life. Our heart cannot become a stone. And the tale continues in a universal manner. Let us pray that no man meets such a stage in life. This is all we can do.

An excellent poem.Be blessed.............10+++++++

This is certainly a sad tale, that you have told so well; unfortunately it is one that happens so often. Irene

A sad tale indeed told so eloquently with so many subjects to see Soft and sadly expressed+++++++++10 regards and thanks

This is beautifully expressed, Meggie. Your phrasing is particularly fine and the story - you give the reader just enough to create his/her own version. Sad, the alcoholic's downward slide into misery. Even death is not a release. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

We have but one life and it's a precious gift, some hate the life they are given and drink to forget their problems leaving many a broken home in their wake, save your pitty for those that have the stength to find their way again.. Andy 10

Sad tale reminded me of my grandfather...he died in vain too...with all his family in feud..he also drinks tuba! everytime...but maybe there's always a reason why those comes our life... sympathy can give ease pain...i know that in time despite the upbringing sadness of our lives can give joy to those who have been left behind...but in the future..that there is still life.

your beautiful poem brings out the bitter side of the life very touchingly, Meggie... thanks...10

Meggie, A pathetic tale well told and a sad song of life. You are great in sympathy. But I contemplatethe situation this way: Is this life that we call our own, is it really our own! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! It sometimes smiles indifferently, at others frowns The weaker hearts in addiction its outlet find I can't understand why to life they are unkind. Why not in roses that we had our pleasure find Remember, 'if winter comes can spring be far behind'. But life has its own way and we are helpless on lookers. CP

This narrative poem is written with a lot of wisdom and a great talent. It is only one conclusion. if you do not realize the purpose, life no longer makes sense.10+++
