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
