Loneliness comes in different
Shades and colors,
Sometimes when we're alone
And sometimes with others

Being lonely has nothing to do with having a hubby
Though he's probably you're best buddy

I once had two cats, they kept me company
But they could only meow
And they're gone now

Alonelyness is a state of being
No matter who or what you are seeing

I wonder why lots of people are alone,
Even though they have the computer or cell phone?
It seems all human beings have flown

Loneliness can't be seen
I don't think it can even be felt
It is elusive
Even when you're with someone
It can be intrusive

Yet being lonely is something we all need
Something we have to be aware of and heed

Loneliness is hard to define
As I sit here and away I pine
Even when some are indivisible
Loneliness can be invisible

Other times it's visible
And we all at times need to be alone
Someday the sweetest person you've ever known
Will unexpectedly appear, like a miracle
