The man who lives alone
Would never say how he felt
Perhaps a decade has passed and
he has been managing self.
The man who lives alone
Never says he’s happy or sad
Unless it makes a sense to him
He’d barely speak a word.
The man who lives alone
Is a lover of so many things
Camera, colors, music, and books
Are only a few in the list.
The man who lives alone
Would strum guitars at nights
Sometimes he would just grab a book
And read to make things right.
The man who lives alone
Once went to mend his shoes
Without putting a lock on the door
That helped two kittens get through.
The man who lives alone
When got back to his home
The kittens were taking a peaceful nap
The cookies he had were gone.
The man who lives alone
Was upset with what they did
But the innocent faces of these furballs
Were just enough to heal.
He went a little close
The kittens were now awake
They looked at him and yawned
But never tried to run away.
The man who lived alone for years
Is no more a lonely man
For the kittens have become his cutesy friends
who keep him company and warm.
