Proud lady

She's all alone in the corner
Little dog by her side
Hands around the cup
To take the cold away.

Look at her face with a tear in my eye
Old shoes badly worn
One without a lace
Walks for hours on end.

Won't take a bus
Should I give her money?
She wouldn't take it anyway
Proud lady can't offend.

She stand in the pouring rain
With dog faithful friend
I didn't see her all this week
In the cafe or anywere.

Something's wrong I must inquire,
She could be ill,
Living alone
I'll never forget that sad day.

Proud lady passed away
The only thing I could give her,
Was flowers on her grave.
