Cursed Lonely Living To Long Poem by Terence George Craddock

the long night of an aged lonely life
must end eventually who can endure endless
night sorrow night after night alone

in an empty house all family decades gone

in the night years decades past sorrows plague
night thoughts throughout darkness sleepless
rest stealing residue this is all my remaining life

long is this continuous darkness sleepless night

the long night of an advanced aged lonely life
ends at age 91 my father who wanted to live
until he died in the house he built back in 1958

ends February 7 2023 retired to a Christchurch rest home
