Gathering Dust

From dawn to dusk she cleans and cleans till everything in her home has acquired a sheen With a hope in heart she waits and waits for the one she loves to come home at eight Alone for dinner She just sits in the chair cobwebs in her head and flowers in her hair ...gathering dust

You’ve captured so much sadness and truth into a few lines, your words make us feel the sorrow and pain of false hopes. Emile.

I like how you put that added meaning of it in. Waiting and waiting, gathering dust. Cute little rhyming poem.
