Will You Spend Some Time With Me?

Please look beyond my
imperfections and see the real me.
I’m loving and caring,
and if you take the time to see,
You’ll find a woman who is lonely
and reaching out to you,
For unconditional friendship
that’s true, through and through.

I may not be pretty or meet
your expectations of what I should be,
But if you take the time to know me
I think that you will see,
No truer friend you can find
than that which comes from my soul,
And though I am old and filled with pain,
friendship is my goal.

You ask,"Have you no children?"
..My answer is, "Yes I do,
But they are busy with their lives
and the times I see them are few."
Maybe a call once a week
or a wave as they pass by my home,
A gift at Christmas, but other than that,
I am always all alone.

I could bake you pies
and make candy for your lovely kids,
And make you jelly with pretty
ribbons tied around the lids.
I may be bent and slow
when I try to take a walk,
But there is nothing wrong
with the way I can sit and talk.

I can tell you stories from
my days of long, long ago,
I could paint you pictures,
oh the beauty they would show.
So won’t you spend some time with me
before I pass away,
And make me feel needed
for even just today?

I won’t be a bother and take a lot
of your time, nor make demands.
All I want is to do for others
with my loving, caring hands.
So think about what I have said
and let me know what you decide.
I’ll wait until I hear from you
because all I have is time to bide.
