Seniors are prone
To be home alone.

Life passes for different people at different speeds,
But eventually it is our home that fills our needs.

The clock has a different sound
By the time you prefer to be homebound .

You do not need to drive
To feel contentment in life.

And when we no longer work or play,
Nature has its way

To stop our desire to roam
And be content at home.

Others will not understand
Until in this comfort zone they land.

I would not want to miss
This time to reminisce

And in quietness, I use my mind
To remember everyone that was kind

And realize it is not worth
To think about the ones that caused hurt.

Wanting to be alone is not a sign of depression
Or having an obsession

Someday, you to, may reach this senior time zone
When nothing is better than being home alone.
