Neighbours
I called out but you did not answer
I peered through the stain glass
Sorrow pierced my broken heart
You lay motionless pale and scattered
You who when last we met
Was full of life and joy and laughter
Your smile a comfort to all who called
Your wisdom your out stretched Palm
How your advice would keep me calm
I watched you age with elegance and grace
The caring lines upon your face
No one now to take your place
How sad and lonely it must have been
To lie alone cold and unseen
For one who helped cared for and cried
Shame that we were not there when you died
