Do

 

Widows do many things they've always done.  Only they do them by themselves.

Widows do their prayer walk, the one they've always done, praying right out loud, like they've always done.  They think of their neighbors, lift up their littlebears, and remember their parents.  Only they do all the praying. 

Widows do their car washing on sunny afternoons like they've always done.  They get the soap, fill the water bucket and lay out the drying towels like always.  Only they do all the hard-to-get-tos. 

Widows do their run-around-town errands like they've always done.  They pick up another milk, collect cash from the ATM, mail the package like they've always done.  Only they do all the driving, parking and running.  

Widows watch their Sunday afternoon sports, the baseball, the football, like they've always done.  They prep for the week before it starts, arrange the pillows, and have necessities close by like they've always done.  Only they do all the cheering and booing.

Widows keep doing all the things they've always done, all by themselves.  Only they do all the sweet warming, reminiscing. This widow keeps doing and remembering.
