Just For You Poetry

Old man waving
Order my books www.amazon.com/author/richardratliff

The old man waits for spring
When he can sit outside
In his green and white plaid lawn chair
Waving to the cars that pass
They wave back and for an instant
He has a connection ever so fleeting

His face lights up with each passing wave
Then fades again, he can't remember why
To all who see he's just a funny old man
But to him each wave lets him
Hang on to his mind if only for a moment

Like this poem of an old man. Kind of sad.

Loneliness in old people is devastating, you have captured this so well Rick and thank you for highlighting what a simple gesture of goodwill can do..

Rick-A very poignant poem, but I did not give you permission to write about me.Enjoyed this so much though it hit close to home

Joe, I didn't give you permission to have my smile lady visit your dreams HA
