    Poem Commentary

    This is about my auntie who has dementia she doesn't know any one I find this very sad

    A little old Lady

     A little old lady with lovely white hair
    Sits all a lone in an old armchair
    Waiting and watching for family and friends
    Watching from morning  until the day ends

    Her children have come and sat by her side
    Lovingly listing as she sat and she cried
    She cant remember who they all are 
    She doesn't know they have come from afar

    She cry's for her mother who has gone long ago
    In her mind she's a child this old lady she doesn't know
    She's lost and she lonely in he own mind
    This illness is cruel and so unkind

    Her children go home she forgets that they have been
    There hearts are broken from what they have seen
    Early next morning it all starts again
    The poor lonely lady lives in her pain

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
