Going It Alone

When you live alone, the choice is yours
Your life is not reduced to chores
Your agenda fills up with fun things
And it's for you when the phone rings!

Food shopping – just pick what you like
A different menu every night?
Into the small hours you can read
Indulgence - in all forms - your creed!

At first sight this life seems ideal
But loneliness is a big deal
You struggle to keep in the flow
No one's to hand when you feel low...

At weekends friends have family ties
Most lives are hectic – no surprise
Such is the pace of life today
Dear friends move on or pass away...

Phones help us to communicate
Poor substitute for loving mate
Precious links are great - but rare
Deep down we all just want to share ...
