She sits alone in her own little home Waiting for the doorbell to ring There are photos on the wall that she can recall All the wonderful memories they do bring There’s a teapot on the table with a cosy named mable With a plate of homemade cookies to the side There’s a warmth in this home and even though she’s alone She has no reason to hide There’s a hairy old cat that she loves to have a chat Keeps her company through and through But it’s the ring of the bell she knows to well That will lift her spirits new…….
Yes, loneliness hits all of us someway when we reach old age. Very clear in this poem. The ring of the bell is our hope, coming to hear it sometimes when it is too late...SM
