I Met a Man

I met a man the other day, who seemed so down on life 

that I enquired, “Why are you sad?” He said, “I’ve lost my wife.” 

“For 60 years we had so much, we cherished every day, but now she’s gone and I’m alone because she passed away.” 

I said, “The finer things in life are things we cannot see; the hope, the joy, and the love we share are all just memories. So don’t despair because she’s gone, we’re never here to stay; she’s in your heart, she’s in your soul, and that no one can take away.”
