"Thoughtfull passage"

MY CHAIR

I sit in my chair cat on lap

I wait to hear my letter box flap

I hope to get news and hear others views

And try my best not to nap.

I sit in my chair and think of the past

I have memories that will always hold fast

Times of good cheer I hold very dear

These things will stay and forever last.

I sit in my chair warm and snug

Round my knees I have a warm rug

I would like to talk or go for a walk

But often just long for a hug.

I sit in my chair with time to recall

Hear my grandfather clock chime in the hall

The days pass by some slow and some fly

Before I know spring has turned to fall.

I sit in my chair my thoughts are my own

I realise how much my faith has grown

I know it’s a must for us to trust

Those who much kindness have shown.

I sit in my chair and know it is best

To have lived my life and now have rest

To have good neighbours giving their labours

To enable me to stay in my very own nest.
