I sit, alone, and listen
Unable to take part
As you discuss
the trials and tribulations
Pleasures and frustrations
Values of family life
I sit, alone, and listen
Enjoying reminiscences
Fleeting memories
Embarrassed winces
But I have nothing I can offer
No husband
No significant other
No claims on my life, my heart
