Alone I've sat so many times
Wishing for a change
Enjoying nature as I sat
I know it may sound strange

At times I do enjoy tranquility
Watching deer frolick in the yard
Yet when the stars come out at night
Sometimes alone seems so very hard

I close my eyes and picture
Laughter and sheer delight
I close my eyes and wish a wish
So I wasn't so alone at night

I have believed that God is here
Yet still I miss that hug or kiss
Aloneness has it's moments
Yet it's sharing love I miss

Dancing with somebody else
Instead of dancing all alone
Talking to a listening ear
Instead of staring at the phone

My birthday's coming and here I sit
Pondering what it is I'll do
I just wish it wasn't celebrating all alone
That would be a wish come true

heartfelt

beautifully written.
