The Lonely Man

Posted on June 15, 2010 | 9 Comments

The elderly man sat in his easy chair waiting with diligence for his only regular visitor…

…his mailman.

Made with my Brother Charger 11 and a vintage envelope mailed in 1927.

Sad but so often true. . .

*sigh* Very sad. The poem draws an all too real picture for me.

  I actually still wait for him, as if he brings anything other than junk mail and bills! I miss getting letters and packages 😦
