Want To Come Sit With Me?

Come here, dear

sit with me

it's a beautiful day

and I'm feeling lonely

so many people have

come and gone

I wonder how it is I

ended up alone

we can share our day

watching birds in the park

come sit with me

just for awhile

oh, oh,

they're coming for us

do you think they know

how we opened that door?

    Shirley, this brought a memory back to me. I'd gone shopping one day with my Mum and we saw this old chap going for a walk in his pyjamas A few moments later, staff from the local nursing home drew up in a car and took him back. I can remember feeling really sad. He just wanted to get out in the fresh air and do something normal. Something that we take for granted. At the time I thought that he must have been really lonely in the nursing home. Your poem brought that right back to me.

    Opened the door? Yowee they found out I'm missin from bed check at the "home" ? Oh wait, maybe you mean the birds, and the bags of food we sprinkle around.
