Lonely And Scared Poem by Donna Saphier

I sat, I shivered
The night was cold
My skin is so thin
Because I'm growing old

I sit by the fire
In the dark of the night
I have no electric
So that means no light

I have no family
No-one one to care
Nobody to wash me
Or comb my hair

I'm lonely, I'm sad
But I just carry on
My husband has passed
He's a long time gone

I'm feeble, I'm weak
But I try to be strong
I don't think that I
Have got very long

So I'll sit and shiver
In the cold of the night
And just hope that I
Will be alright

I don't like being lonely
Just all by myself
What if I die
Cause I'm not in good health

How long would I be here
Before I'm discovered
I'm just like a baby
I need to be mothered


I'm scared, so scared
To die all alone
And nobody finds me
Till I'm skin and bone

I am very lonely
But what can I do
I suppose I'll just wait
Till my days are through

I don't want to die
No I don't want to go
It could be tomorrow
But I'll never know

I wish I had family
But now it's too late
My life's nearly over
But it has been great

I'm gonna wrap up now
In my blanket so tight
And try to get some sleep
In the cold of the night.
