A Poetic Reflection on Loneliness

Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, surgeon general cited loneliness as a public health concern with the publication of Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation.

Lila wrote this poem in 1957. I think she was onto something!

Loneliness

Loneliness is winter’s bitter cold

That freezes over life’s smooth flow,

Then waits with saddened hollow eye

For Spring of friends to melt the snow.

–Lila

Be Blessed!
