Forgotten
People
Forgotten faces lost in
places
ones we never see
people that we used to know
some from our
family tree,
Old folk's home or home for the old
a place where they
can’t stray
sitting waiting anticipating
the visitor that will not come
today,
Huddled in groups like weary troops
they wonder what they have
done
to be left for so long just wandering on
searching for the
truth,
Sitting in day rooms not quite play rooms
I don’t think they
like it much
it is not the same as being at home
where there is that
personal touch,
No one should be forgotten
just because they have
aged
it could happen to you
then what would you do?
Nothing for it
would be too late.
