 Welcome to Trizia's thoughts

The Forgotten one


The Forgotten one

She sat in her chair
Her eyes shut but not asleep
Her mind somewhere else
As she is thinking so deep

Of times in her life
Oh how the years have flown
One moment she had little ones
But now they've left and grown

None of them could care for her
She's looked after in a home
She didn't want to leave her house
She was fine just on her own

They said she had to go there
She wasn't safe all by herself
If they just had helped a bit
But they were always somewhere else

Sometimes they came to visit her
Just a day in many weeks
This would make her very sad
When they left she would sit and weep

She cried for her abandoned hopes
All she thought would become
She always thought they would stay near
Not that she would hardly see them

When they were small
She was always there
The years they were cruel
They grew up and didn't care

Gone was her sweetheart
He passed long ago
Oh how she missed him
She did love him so

She stared out of the window
At the clouds above
Not knowing that but very soon
She would be back with her love

Came the morning after
They arrived at the home
Saying how really sad they were
That their beloved mother had gone

No guilt did they feel
As they took what was left
Of their poor mothers life
Just one day after her death

The staff brought some flowers
To add them to the day
As she was laid to rest
On that cold and wintry day

Nothing from her children
They wasn't even there
She looked down from heaven
And for once she didn't care
