Poem Title:
Poem
She hadn't a friend who cared or family member around As well as she had fared the loneliness is what she found Tucked away in her mansion the neighbors so eerily distant Drapes keeping out the sun like the rays were never sent So many pictures of the past yet the joy had long since fled It all just went so fast and so many things that weren't said She really had just about enough for what was the reason Surrounded by all of her stuff there wasn't even any pleasing Then there was a knock at the door a local Catholic charity They had a local thrift store it was called the Family Tree Asking if she had any unwanted things that they could resell As the money that it brings would help many others as well She invited them to come in and then showed them around Then with a slight grin saying all of this has kept my soul bound You can fill up that whole truck and just take so much of this away I'm tired of feeling so stuck but all that is going to change today She kept just enough things but brought all those pictures along Now suddenly feeling like she had wings she broke out into song And when she did drive past that store seeing all her stuff in the window Her emotions would begin to pour as the Lord she had finally come to know
