Could you spare a minute.
I have a pot with fresh tea
in it.
Could you spare the time,
to step along the path
sit in friendship with me,
share my waiting hearth.
Could you spare a word
or two, to speak upon
the phone, or send a text
so I shall know, I am
not alone.
Author's Notes/Comments:
Thinking of those elderly parents living alone who's children have moved away or just become too busy to remember they are still family members, just as much as their own children are. Ring them keep them in the family loop so they know they are not outsiders.
