Somebody somewhere……..

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

I'm with Red too. That is me to a "T" (not tea - not fond of it and no cat)!! But the rest rings a definite bell. Good description of us old maids Nu!
