~The Lonely Of Alone~

This lonely feeling of alone
Makes unhappy to me often known
Sadness seems to be the tone
Of late, this feel of, I am prone

For holidays are here to be
Where joy and happy most do see
Friends and family are the key
To take away this feel of lonely

Yet, is the feel of alone in a crowd
Where many faces are all around
For there is not the special sound
Of the one who makes my heart pound

Though every day on the phone I hear
This voice of the one I hold dear
Then, those times bring to me much cheer
Yet not to the place of holding near

Yes, this lonely feeling of alone
Makes unhappy to me often known
Sadness seems to be the tone
Of late, this feel of, I am prone

What a sad write especially at this time of the year but take heart because nothing is static in life and one never knows what's around the next bend.

The holidays are so hard for those in this situation.  Sometimes, even those who have people around are lonely, too, depending on the circumstances.  *hugstoyouEthel*....jo

Aww, Ethel Mae, altho' talking daily on the phone with your loved one is wonderful ~ it does not warm us as much as being held in their arms.

For what it may be worth, I am wrapping my arms around you!

Love,
Linda

I think I finally got the hang of the holiday thing - instead of dwelling on the loss of my friend at this time of year, I find a lot of laughter and joy in remembering the good years we spent, and her shannigans.  It takes each person their own time and space to get to a point of celebrating a loss, rather than staying in the hurt.  Lovely graphic Ethel and lovely words.

To see real beauty you must look with your heart.

Ethel, I'm sorry you're alone and lonely. Will a long distance hug help?

This is sadness incorporated. I'm sorry you are feeling like this. I hope things get better soon.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

the holiays can truly be hard, this I know and it is easy to be lonely when you are missing someone who is so important that your heart feels not whole without them around...

write it out, maybe that makes it not so lonely, or so I hope
