Loneliness

Sitting in my room this evening

Thinking of times long past

It’s hard to realize where the time has gone

You think that good times will always last

Suddenly you find are all alone

Just time is the only friend you have

You glance out of the window just to see

If the rain has left its autograph

As it trickles down the window pane

And forms a puddle on the sill

Where a little robin has made a nest

And is sitting in it keeping very still

It looks a very forlorn sight him sitting out in the rain

His bright red breast shines so bright

And I pray that he will be ok

As the rain may last all night

For few moments I am relieved to find

My thoughts have forgotten my lonely plight

As I sit and gaze through the wind and rain

Because day very soon becomes night

I have lost count of how many books I have read

To while away the long days

And crossword puzzles take up a lot of my time

And Sudoku’s have become another craze

I rarely receive any visitors

But I do not worry too much about that

Because I amuse myself by playing games

And I have a friend in Alex, next doors Persian Cat

Who calls around for an extra feed

And a cuddle occasionally, as is his want

So I am not lonely all of the time

As he struts about like a commandant

He makes me laugh a lot of the time

With his playful antics and all

Something he likes to do all the time

Is chase a rather large rubber ball

So at the end of the day I sit and ponder

Just what is life all about

I am free to do just as I wish

As there’s rarely anyone about.
