MY LONELINESS
Is loneliness just really
A simple state of mind
I often wonder if it is
When I am left behind
When I am left alone
And my wife heads down the street
I often find the pantry
Is a place to find a sweet
I have a life which seems so full
Almost every day
But something deep inside me tells me
That I ought to pray
It sometimes seems so pointless
To see the TV news
Me - just sitting there alone
Watching what I choose
How can I break this cycle
Would prayer help me to be
Someone who does have a life
Which others then can see
My memory has had a blow
I can’t remember much
I don’t respond as readily
To any grandchild’s touch
I had an operation on my heart
Not so long ago
The mitral valve was not so good
And I was going slow
Everything has now been done
To get me on the mend
But now and then I wonder if
I’m going round the bend
Yes prayer I’m sure, at least I’m told
Will open up the way
And happiness and joy again
Will lighten up my day
I’m a dinky die Australian
Port Broughton town of birth
I've wandered here and wandered there
For what it's worth
Oh well! I guess I'll sruggle on
Not sure what's down the track
All I know is I'm still here
I thank the Lord for that
