He sat on a park bench,

every morning until noon,

and returned back in time

for afternoon tea

with his daughter.

He lived a quaint existence,

compared to the vibrant life

he previously possessed.

But that was, of course,

when she was still around.

Things slowed down once she

had passed,

and now, he doesn’t have the energy

he once did with her.

A life almost up,

and he spends his last ticking minutes

reminiscing on the life he’s lived,

and smiles.

It’s been good,

and that’s all I could ever

ask for.
