They sit in chairs so silent
Their faces tell it all
Hurting, painful cries within
Lost in the darkened halls.

Their eyes are empty, sullen
No life within their limbs
Drooping shoulders, succumb, yield
Heads hang low, so grim.

These are the lonely people
They live with me and you
Yet we fail to understand
The torment they go through.

Is there a way to reach them?
Can they escape the pain?
Will their soul find purpose?
Are there ways to ease their strain?

These are the lonely people
They wait for me and you
To reach out to them in love
In friendship kind and true.

Jesus lives in my heart! He can in yours too!!!
