Middle age and the kids have flown
An empty house, you’re all alone.
What can you do, you can’t just sit,
So make an effort to go out a bit.
Join a club where you can mingle
With others who are also single.
With understanding folk who care
You’ll enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
Don’t go intent on finding a mate.
Just meet new people, try to relate.
Unwinding is easy, relax, go with the flow
In time lasting friendships will grow.
Sometimes a crisis knocks us about,
We sit at home and don’t go out.
We feel bitter at what might have been,
Instead of finding a brighter scene.
We all need friends to make us whole,
Share our troubles and soothe our soul.
Find your courage and make the move
Join that club and life will improve.
