Lovingly Dedicated to Kitty

Some people have lots in common
From hobbies to media to profession
But good friends are hard to come by
Is certainly a true expression


My dearest friend introduced me
To a lady whose husband just passed
A widow myself for four long years
I knew that her sorrow was vast


People tell you that it'll get better
That's a myth I'm here to debunk
Moods range from crying to depression
And wallowing in the old blue funk


Only those who have gone through it
Really know what it is to grieve
After losing your long-time soul mate
When this world he has to leave


My new acquaintance and I get together
By mostly talking on the telephone
We lean on each other's shoulders
Now we don't have to cry alone


We are two widowed friends still grieving
And we know how tough it's been
We comfort each other and I'm glad to have
My new friend, Martha Kathleen
