She Sits Alone
SHE SITS ALONE (A Haibun poem)
She sits alone in a room. Memories to fill her day. She longs for company, a human touch, someone to care. Nurse are rushed, no time to stop and listen. Even a phone call could cheer her day.
Her hands once busy with knitting and crochet, are now arthritic and no longer able to work. Someone once said silence is golden To her it's more like a rust bucket. She remembers the time complaining life was too busy,and longed for respite. How things have changed!
Suddenly the silence is broken and she smiles.
phone rings
somebody cares
wrong number.
