All Alone

  
      I remember him seated on a bench
         in the park all alone
      A young man who did not feel at home
       
      Pleasant to all who wished him ‘Good Day’
         He did not know what else to say

Hello Gershon, People have answers all prepared, but you know what I mean! . And they are as phony as all get out! Blech.!Pangie! I like this phone because it’s not like other pros. It’s very unusual and honest.

Good one Gershon. Many people are like this young man now a days. I think electronic social media contributes to this

I felt the loneliness and sadness. Many times, I've felt estranged from myself, sitting alone somewhere trying to make sense of things. Truly 'good day' was about the only words I could muster. well done, yellow rose (faving)

We don’t know what someone is going through. Yes, pleasantries, but that doesn’t say it all.

I think we can all relate to this, in one way or another. Spirit will always feel somewhat estranged when in the human body.
