Come sit on me when you are lonely
just rest a bit after a tiresome day
I promise you that I will listen
to all the things you want to say

I'm standing here just for that purpose
and being used for so many years
I'm the keeper of all those secrets
of happy joys and shedded tears

Come sit on me when you feel lonely
I'll comfort you and ease your heart
I know that you feel so much better
when after a while our ways do part


A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

Sadness, as it seems a one way street, I hope I was only reading wrong and the comfort was reciprocated in turn...very nice though...gentle smile

Thank you

Titia~
I found such a familiar comfort in your poetry.

That special place where we can sit and gather memories around us.

Wonderfully done and a great complement to the picture.

Wonderful, Titia.  We all need a place we can call our own.  Where we can seek refuge from the world when it is cruel to us.  Or a place just rest when feeling weary.  Thanks for sharing yours with us.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

Thank you Logan, but it wasn't meant to be sad. I've several places in my garden where I just go sit by myself when I want to think things over, happy or sad.

Mr»ÄlleÿÇät thank you for reading, I think we all have our own comforting places.
