A Lonely Boy
/The little boy has just turned three
Sitting alone on the front door step
Sobbing sadly, no one to see or hear
His home is empty except his cat
He doesn’t know where his folks went
His mother never left him alone before
Now she has gone away for days
Helplessly he cries for her quick return
On the hill overlooking the boy’s house
Are his family gathered to bury his mother
They deliberately keep him away
To avoid his witness of this saddest moment
