Missing

\nShe sat alone and waited, with the teapot on the shelf,
\nHer book unread before her, and her thoughts inside herself.
\nHe hadn’t said he’d be there but she hope that, just today,
\nHe’d find the time to visit, and a little more to stay.<\/p>\n
She sat alone and waited with the shortbread in the tin,
\nThe clock moved slowly onward, soon her programme would begin.
\nHe didn’t call so often as he used to long ago,
\nBut perhaps he would this evening, if he’d something new to show.<\/p>\n
She sat alone recalling how he used to bring her news,
\nOf his latest bold adventure, or to ask her for her views.
\nHe never planned their meetings, but she missed them more and more,
\nAnd she missed the boy that called her “The old lady from next door”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
