a picture of lonely
painted in a park
minding his bench
daylight to dark
a hand-carved cane
and a bag full of seeds
tending his birds
mindful of greed
it’s duty you see
they all need a share
someone must watch
someone must care

"someone must care"  ---and from this write it is apparent that you are one of the "someone"s who care!!!

I liked this alot.

I've seen this before, and it is a sweet picture still in this poem.  You captured this person, and a bit of lonesome too.
