when laughter will wane,

Nothing is forever,
no matter how hard you try,
the ones you love will say goodbye.
Late in the day
of a Fall afternoon,
when laughter will wane,
before its begun
Nothing is forever,
no matter how hard you try,
the ones you love will say goodbye.
Loneliness.
How can you be lonely,
when surrounded by residents
and staff?
Easy, we rely on families and
friends, when living in our home.
Coworkers are many, when
you are employed.
Life can be like building
beach sandcastles, in play.
Careful, there is stress,
as waves take the castles away.
A great wasteland,
is what we are,
of collectible souls,
near and far.
Lost souls are gathering,
in hidden recess of the mind.
Having succumbed, lost
away, escaped. You won't find.
Over the hill
across the Dell,
why can't I find,
the loneliest trail?
A trail so lonely,
fraught with woe.
Seeking peace but
I know it won't be soon.
Sometimes I need to wander.
Sometimes I need to roam,
when the need is over,
I need to return to my home.
When I am alone,
more frequent now,
then it used to be,
I question how,
I have moments of
many unique personalities,
and find the one I love,
is the one who personifies
me.
Long ago,
far away,
I heard,
someone say,
"Why is
life so
cruel?"
What happened
to the "Golden Rule?"
Why hate?
Why not
love.
Is life
so meaningless,
when seen
from above.
If God
is just
and good,
why is
he misunderstood?
The World lays
twisted and torn.
There are times I wish,
I hadn't been born.
Other days,
when life is grand,
I realize it is time
to pay the band.
So, what do you say,
when there's something new?
Work harder you must,
it's what you must do.
There is an art in listening
and when it's at an end,
be thankful for that someone,
for they are a true friend.
Thank you for listening,
I'm happy you understand,
as the sadness in my heart,
is now, starting to mend.
From far across
the Sea of blue,
he searched, aways,
looking for you.
Your beauty is renown,
smiling away,
with nary a frown.
Why are you now,
tucked away,
where you seldom see
the light of day?
