The Lonely Bench...

I sit among the rest,

Not knowing who visits next, 

Days and time are spent,

Hearing people vent and resent. 

Now times have changed,

I feel estranged, 

The virus has taken its toll,

And not one person comes for a stroll. 

People I knew that once existed,

Death snatched them away from their beloved, 

I miss seeing people in abundance,

The garden has plunged into silence. 

I sit here feeling lonely,

Reminiscing days that were lively, 

Till then, stay safe, wear masks and be wary,

And hope to see you'll back all merry!
