Lost In A World Of My Own

I just love being in my own home. Sometimes I feel bad because I am always inviting people to come and visit but it never comes to me to go to visit them on their turf. I've just been contented over the years to be at home, it could have started because we had five children and way back when they were young, I would think, who wants to see you coming with that many kids so I found it easier to say, you come to my house. Whatever the reason I find that even today I am lost in a world of my own, which isn't all bad. I look forward to the children calling to say they are coming to visit with the darling little grandkids.



 


Lost In A World Of My Own


I sit back and rest in the quiet,
Sipping a tea, deep in thought,
I look around, what a nice home,
For I am lost in a world of my own.

The sun drifts through the deck doors,
That no one ever really shares anymore,
Lonely barbeques held once in a while,
The children have gone, no more a child.

Preparing food has become a chore,
No one drops by here anymore,
What once was, is now left alone,
For I am lost in a world of my own.

I love to sing and just have fun,
But you can't do that my yourself,
We've moved to many times I find,
Everyone around are of a different kind.

Too busy for a walk in the park,
Too busy for a tea and chat,
Things changed, this isn't like home,
For now I am lost in a world of my own.

I seem to work the whole day through,
Not much else for me to do,
The children called, they're on the way,
I'll sing and be happy for another day.

Just give me one day at a time,
To spend with my special grandkids,
They don't like to see me all alone,
I'll share with them my happy home.

I wish I could be lost in a world of my own, but it seems I never get enough time by myself. I love company and having things to do, but I still prefer to be by myself. I guess we either have too much of one thing and not enough of the other. Great write sis.

I know what Fee means...I just returned from a meeting where former colleagues work and it was like I came from outer space...and it was just four weeks ago that I retired...really gives you sommething to look forward to.

Nice write

Thanks,
Dan

I can surely understand this write since retirement robbed me of my work mate friends who once you are away for a few years forget you even existed. If not for the kids and grand kids like you this house would be pretty empty and hollow. Great write Rose.
