Soul`s pain

a dull ache felt deep within
continually rumbling in the back ground
reminding my of painful memories
scents, textures and sounds
alone, this world moves onward
for all have fledged from home !

silence is not always golden
finding myself missing company
a chat over a mug of coffee
and a hug certainly would be nice
thankful I have all my memories
kids running, playing and saying hello!

old age is just a mind set
the years are only numbers
why should we grow old gracefully
my soul maybe full of pain
but I`ll not going to ley is get me down!
