An Old Woman <br />A gray old woman sits all alone <br />Feeling so unloved <br />Uncherished and unknown to other <br />She stays home with no one to call her home <br />Sitting beside her broken door <br />Wishing her kids loved her <br />She would dreaming of days past long ago <br />When true love came her way <br />When children played about her knees <br />Filling the air with childish glee <br />But with time all her dreams faded away <br />Just like that summers day <br />Shadows of domes made way with clouds of gray <br />Now all her kids moved one <br />each to live their own life <br />A girl to her husband, a boy to his wife <br />But a mother left with her memory's <br />Silently she tears wishing her kids was near <br />striving for their Love <br />But they forgot her and left her poor <br />Blind mother's grief <br />Her cold life had been taken some years <br />Out of her life <br />But neglect of her children may seem unkind <br />She'll forgive and forget all unkindness they've shown <br />This poor old mother who sits alone <br />Winter snow made way to her home <br />She looks out her window counting snow flakes <br />Like she once did with her kids <br />What she did when she was young <br />Old age doesn't come by itself <br />And it isn't all that fun <br />Going to bed all alone <br />Know one to hold <br />Know one to keep her safe <br />Those awful cold winds and rain <br />Bring on my old rheumatic pain <br />Eating and sitting all day <br />Hoping and praying for all her pains to go way <br />She lays in bed looking for better days <br />As her mind drift away <br />on that cold winters day <br /> <br />Lilly Emery <br />A Lone in Old Age<br /><br />Lilly Emery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-old-woman-3/
