If I Should Find

If I should find myself alone
I will not cry, nor wail, nor moan
I will not ask. Why me? Why now?
I’ll do my best to cope somehow.
For life goes on
Though hearts grow cold
And lonely
Is the pain of old
If I’m alone 
I’ll bear the dread
Though honestly 
When all is said
If I’ve a choice 
I’ll walk ahead
