The Song

He staggered to the medline,

wept bitterly from his soul

for lack of words he'd never find

to describe the gaping hole.

Somewhere in the sands of time,

a boy still plays at his father's feet

when happiness didn't cost a dime

And he danced to a different beat.

But that was years ago -

The song had ended much too fast.

He refused the meds and walked real slow

as he cradled his playful past.
