Dusty Corner

Each day I enter sadly
To find no one about.
There are cobwebs in our Corner.
I try to brush them out.

This Corner once was lively
With friends who waved so gaily.
And there were always one or two
With whom I chatted daily.

Someone has pulled the shades down.
I lift them up again.
It will be more inviting if
We let some sunshine in.

Tomorrow is another day,
I'll come this way once more
And hope to find friends waiting when
I open up the door.

Love, Joyce

Dear Joyce, it's good to know you want to keep this corner alive. Sometimes people are simply busy with life and summertime is often vacation time, so maybe that is the reason.

I enjoyed your beautiful rhymes.

I love your presence also in Open, I love to find familiar names there too.

Love and hugs.
Margherita

Joyce,

I just want to hug you and put flowers on the windowsills for you.

I do so love peeking in here and might have to try my hand putting some poems in this corner too.

Hugs and love,
Alison

Dear Joyce;

I really like your poem! I'm never sure if re-visiting places we've lived is pleasnat or painful. A bit of both I guess!

Love,
Betty Lou

Brush the cobwebs away,
   Open the dusty window, and Bring
Sunlight into your corners Joyce!

-- May you have friends all your life, that carries support and willingness to do anything for you at any moment!
