Christmas Day, 2006

Lonely

She felt so lonely,
Sitting by the fireside,
Looking into the flames,
Changing by the second,
Reviewing memories of her past,
The many loves,
Of family, of friends.

Today, all has changed,
Important ones have departed this earth,
Others have departed the area,
Some are enjoying their lives.
With families and friends.

She sits alone,
Looking into the flames,
For her the past is gone,
Yet life continues,
As the flames continue,
Soon the flames will end,
Her life will end,
The end to loneliness.
