The rose on the window pane



The roses on the window pane.

It hurts me when I look, and I'm disabled. My family puts me in a nursing home all alone. It's just me and the pretty rose on the window pane. They can't be bothered; they think I'm insane. They never stop by to say hello or goodbye. I just sit here and watch the tears drop from my eyes. Maybe one call or text message, and then I would not be so upset. As I sit here every day, waiting for the sun to set, All I have left is this pretty rose. It keeps me warm, but I want to go home.

    Your poems make you beautiful.
    What is most important is that you are willing to write about yourself and what you are going through. Those people who don’t call or come to see you, they don’t have the valuable talent that you do. You can be honest and you can write poetry. That’s what makes you so beautiful. It’s who you are in the inside that matters . Thank you for sharing your poems with us.
