'and now that the wrinkles are even deeper because you're gone, the night doesn't scare me anymore' - These lines touched me deep. So sad, yet so beautiful! ! !

Congratulations on your poem's selection as the 'Member Poem of the Day'!
Nobody's life, long or short, is a cakewalk. We have to bear and traverse through our own trials and tribulations throughout the length of our life. This becomes easier when we have hands of love to hold on to, particularly at the later days of our life. I fully agree with Lorraine Colon that 'It's no fun growing old, but to do it with a loved one is so much easier to bear'.
Yes, it's definetely one more reason to smile to life. Thank you.
