A Lonely But Lovely Day

Here I am at home on my own
listening to some great Mozart
while I put my pen to paper
today I will enjoy in no small part

This is a setting I truly enjoy
just little old me I singly see
all my good times in life
and in the future, I do foresee

A picture this is in my mind
so full of complete inner joy
something one can't explain
like in childhood loving a fav toy

Later after lunch read a book
one that stirs your heart so full
someone's life or maybe poetry
that brings real peace as a rule

This day is marked by joy
an inner peace so distinctly real
many like this I hope to spend
bow in God's presence to mark His seal

I love the rhyme, the flow AND THE CONTENT! You wrote about the person I WANT to be; someone who is content to live alone. I've had years on my own in my adult life and I (pardon me) suck at it. I get desperately lonely. I don't mind being alone, as long as my partner is out there somewhere, but wish I could enjoy just my own company (for my own sake, as I may very well be alone again, someday.) So upbeat, your poem that is, just great ... CayCay

Thanks again CayCay, Glad you enjoyed this and loved the rhyme, flow and content too. Being on your own can be a problem for some, I think having had a stammer all my life makes me enjoy my own company more having no stress to cope with as it is when I'm with people. Blessings and hugs,Gordon

Glad you enjoyed your alone time, i know that our son Ricky brings our two year old grandaughter, our treasure, and they sleep most of that day, because she doesn't sleep well and keeps them awake at night. She has been the greatest gift in our lives, we love her to bits and pieces. Gordon it was so lovely hearing from you bless you and your lovely wife. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
