The man in the Window

[Chocolate Eclair]

Sitting in the window with silver hair
Sits a frail old man in a Rocking Chair
Loneliness is etched up on his face
He smiles at people walking at pace.
Many do not see the pain he bares
Walking straight by, they don't even care

For all of a year he sits there and stares
Will a passer by stop and show some care
But they all pass by, not giving a damn
But thinking only of themselves, their lives a sham
Has long as they are working, for as long as they can
Why should they bother, with this lonely old man

The winter is now with us, its cold and and bare
The mans curtains are drawn, gone has his stare
His chair is still it makes no sound
The man in the window cannot be found
His loneliness has ended, his spirit is free
Not one person cared, and no one could see

So if you see, a person alone and in despair
Remember this man in his old rocking chair
Just give a wave, just give a smile
Maybe a minute of talk, just stop for a while
For when you get older, and your heart will not mend
You may like the comfort from a passing friend

Chocolate Eclaire, who is the author of that poem please? It's always helpful, and only fair to the author - even if it is the great Anon - to credit them.

Then don't be afraid to claim it as your own. Most people like to know who wrote something - it allows them to give credit where credit is due. It also means that if an author is published then people can search for more of their work if they choose.

I can put verse to most things if given a subject, the three I have put on here only took 10 mins each to think of and write.

Wow, talk about speed typing Takes me three minutes to make a cup 'o tea.

Many years ago when at School Dusak, I could not stand Science, so instead did Pitmans and Typing. so really started at an early age. For the last 15 year of my work was also heavy involved with computers, so typing comes secondary to me now. Sometimes the Arthritis kicks in though!!
