All Alone Poem by verna ralph
All Alone
SHE SITS THERE ALL ALONE
HER CHILDREN GROWN
WITH FAMILY OF THEIR OWN
SHE WONDERS WHAT HAPPEN
CHILDREN ALL OF THREE
THEY HAVE GROWN LIKE FRUIT UPON THE TREES
GRANDCHILDREN SHE HAS SIX
GETTING HARDER TO REMEMBER THEIR NAMES
SHE SITS THERE ALL ALONE
NO ONE COMES TO VISIT
HER GRANDCHILDREN DOESN, T KNOW HER
HER CHILDREN HAS FORSAKEN HER
SHE WONDERS WHY
SHE SITS THERE ALL ALONE
SHE LOVED HER CHILDREN DEARLY
WANTED NOTHING BUT THE BEST
WORKED HARD AND WENT WITHOUT
HER CHILDREN SHE WOULD DIE FOR
SHE SITS THERE ALL ALONE
SHE WONDERS WHY
SHE THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE AROUND HER
LIKE ALL MOTHERS DO
GET TOGETHERS ON SUNDAYS
SEE A MOVIE OR TWO
SHE SITS THERE ALL ALONE
SHE REEKS HER BRAIN
WONDERS WHAT DID SHE EVER DO
TO GET SUCH COLD TREATMENT
FROM THE BABIES SHE ONCE KNEW
SHE SITS THERE ALL ALONE
THE ANGELS CAME AND CARRIED HER HOME
Perhaps she needs to realize that alone doesn't necessarily have to mean...lonely. When a person truly enjoys their own company...we become much less dependant on others for our satisfaction in life. Hugs, Dee

Verna, the last line is wonderful. So incredibly sad too. I can identify with your poem as I have five grandchildren. Cannot bear the thought of sitting there all alone. Brave and well written, especially the repeated sentence gives your poem authority. Well done!
Yes, you certainly have captured the plight of many a mother today. But honey, may I make a suggestion? Please, don’t shout. All caps have the implication of screaming. Just turn your caps lock off, please. It makes for more enjoyable reading. Your poems are too good to be spoiled. Then go to my site and read ‘Many a Mother is Forgotten Today’. Now I must go on to read more of yours. Good job! Adeline
