Lonely Poem by Angela Johnson

What's it like to be all alone
To be out in the world on your own
No one to share the day you had
No one to care for you when feeling bad
What's it like to walk into an empty house
To have no one there not even a spouse
No one to say 'I Love You Lots'
No one to share your uttermost thoughts
To have a backyard where children do not play
No one to give hugs and kisses every day
No one to tell 'I Love You' to
No one to share special holidays with you
No one to cook or fuss over you
No one to pay attention to
Friends are great to have around
To pick you up when feeling down
Friends never fill that space in your heart
Left open for someone special to be a part
What's it like to be all alone
To be out in the world on your own 'LONELY'
