A Little Care

A little care or tenderness

Would help a day go by,

For the old or weak who don`t complain

(Maybe some just sit and cry) .



Who spend their days in loneliness

Often in one room,

Expecting nothing from the world at large

While they exist in their twilight gloom.



So sad even one life is left lingering

When a kind word could make it shine,

Bringing comfort to a lonely person

Who otherwise would sit and pine.



I`ll try to redeem myself tomorrow

Is all that I can say,

But I should have taken at least a smile

To a lonely soul today.
