Lonesome © Bill Williams 22/5/2012
Is she sitting by the doorway?
Just to catch the evening breeze.
No,.........she’s sitting waiting,
Just for some one to come?
So she sits a little longer
As the night comes slowly down,
And yes?........She is so lonely
For time is slowly dragging on.
So she sits a while longer
As darkness is creeping on,
But still she’s sitting there
And hoping in her heart,.....she’s wrong
She rises,.........lights the lantern
Stoke the fire in the stove,
Then sits there by the doorway
Waiting,.......for some one to come

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Re: lonesome
thank Maureen that works. To me when I say it out aloud the extended breaks are very important and place more feeling into it
thank that is one I owe you bill the old battler
