~~~
Hat pulled down,
Staring at the ground,
Walkin’ slow in the pouring rain.
Who do you love,
Who do you miss,
What are you thinkin’…alone.
Unopened mail,
Words never read.
Doorbell silent, no one home.
Answering machine,
Phone doesn’t ring.
The sound of silence, alone.

Well done.
Oh my. So much pain. But the words are very real and none of them are wasted.
This describes perfectly some lonely older relatives of mine who just remove themselves, even though they are still in the flesh! Praying for them.
Singing in the rain: happy, but bitter-sweet.
I read your posts every day!!! It always helps to send me on my way.
Continue to be a blessing!
Be encouraged! Be inspired! Be who he created you to be!
