I need you dear to patiently listen to me <br />I am just an old and lonely lady. <br />Indeed I do have family living around me <br />But none has time for me, a poor old lady <br />My children and grandchildren are always busy <br />Their life style leaves me feeling dizzy <br />They zoom around in their fancy cars <br />They say they need to reach out for the stars <br />In their high speed rat race and money chase <br />For me there is neither a role nor any place <br />My presence is cramping their life style <br />I need to leave and go away for a while <br />Then perhaps if they do miss me <br />They may even change their attitude towards me <br />If they do not, I will no effort spare <br />To find another home where people care <br />Hopefully I will then be more at ease <br />Among caring people, less difficult to please. <br />But for now my dear please sit right here <br />And help me to overcome my depression and fear<br /><br />Sandra Martyres<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lonely-lady-2/
