The Lonely

I behold a woman sitting in her chair,
Looking out her window, longing to share!

I envision, a man submerged in TV,
With nothing to say to his wife or family!

I observe a boy rejected and scared!
To gain a friend, he does what he’s dared!

I relate to the girl, who is looking for love
Giving in, when push comes to shove!

I visit a world full of hate, envy, and strife
While sitting in my office, both morning and night!

I see a screen, on our phones and such
Taking the place of a voice, and a touch!

With an average number of three hundred friends
Can you tell me why, loneliness trends?

Thank you Nadiya, yes, it saddens me to see the hunger in our eyes for companionship, while so many get lost in a virtual reality. May all your relationships grow in Christ Jesus, Stacey
