Last Man Standing

I love you dearly,

like family.

You are the brother I never had.

I wish you the happiness that seems to elude me-

You say: 

I am last man standing.

Single
Unwed

Alone-

"I am" the last man standing.

But don't worry about me,

I worry enough.

I will find her one day-

and her love will save me from myself.

But this is your day.
I love you dearly.

In a world filled 

with  chaos  and unexpected storms of ruin,
that bring some  men to their knees,
and others down for the count.

I wish for you to be the last man standing-
with your wife beside you.

A good woman,

standing by her man.
