A Poem Written by Vivian Ennis 1/24/2019

Its quiet here alone tonight
something just does not feel right

The silence tells me I am alone
in this house that once was a home

No sounds of laughter or kids at play
it is now just another lonely day

Life went by me so very fast
the dreams I dreamed are not ones that last

The things I imagined to be a certain way
have not any truth to them anymore today

Reality is what is happening now
all I do now is ask the question… How

How can my life have passed by me this fast
wished I would have known this back in my past

That I would end up here alone
No more sounds of laughter in my home

No more cries of joy or even pain
just the silence and the sound of rain

And tears that fall down on my cheek
as there is no one here for me to speak

So loneliness is what fills the day
my children are living their own lives today

They are now all Gone
I was a single mom

I cannot make up my mind now about how to live
only for myself … for there is no one now for me to give
