1717 CEDAR STREET

A house on 1717 Cedar Street Once the dwelling of a Husband and Wife The husband died of Cancer and his widow is left The Wife would often cry at day and night full of emotion Desperation moments Tomorrow seemed to move full speed ahead However, the Wife thought she was and will always be alone There was a male mouse living within the walls of the house The mouse would often come out when he heard the widow of the house in tears He would do his best to comfort her lonely moments of despair The mouse was trying to show compassion At first the Wife became frightened and thought she needed to call the Exterminator But in this instant, there was something about the male mouse that warranted the thought of elimination A friendship that billed into a romance The male mouse and the widow dined together, but didn’t drink together A love affair encounter took place Being alone turned into never alone Possibilities of another kind like no other Romance can come when one least expects it No one would have ever thought Friendship between a Female human widow and a male mouse Love in the air Beyond compare It doesn’t matter where love comes from as it relieves the aloneness that one feels Life’s unpredictable True heart admirable
