ALONENESS

Aloneness - the sense and sound -

of that word - that statement - contains

about 83 percent negative feelings.

Aloneness - the feeling we all feel

when we’ve done something dumb -

or said the wrong thing in public.

Aloneness - in a far city - alone - and
at the moment our family back home 
is not going right - and we feel, “Uh oh!”

Aloneness - and we sense we’re

a lost coin - dropped by God - and

our faith that God wants us is gone.

Aloneness - and we’re found like a

lost sheep  or a lost child and nobody

really cares that we have returned.
