Morning sun rises, here he comes
All night I have waited
Waiting for him to wake from his slumber
He is old, frail in need of company
She left him for a place in the clouds
Never a smile only a frown
I long to say good day
Its lonely on the web
Waiting to snare a bug
On the silken strands I call home
He shuffles his feet along the rug
I watch it all high upon the ceiling
Wishing for a glance upon my web
He never see's me
I see him with all eight eyes
Mr Mccoy, That's what I call him
He makes a cup of tea
I stretch a few legs hoping he will notice
The kettle boils, steam burns my feet
I scuttle to the top as beads form
Like raindrops on silver strings
His tender eyes peer out glass panes
Watching his crop, Old Mr Mccoy
Deep lines mark his face, thoughts of her mark his mind
Eight legs, no way to hug
If only he would see a friend in me
A picture of her, a tear shed
I spin my web, lowering
Closer and closer to his head
"Mr Mccoy ill be your friend!"
No words can I make to fall on death ears
He takes his tea and leaves me be
Tomorrow he might look up
Ill be ready, waiting on my web.
A little story of a spider who just wants a friend.
