2| Lonely
***
I was a little girl
Unaware of the dark
When I saw a man play
In our local park
*
He made himself a swing
From the branch of a tree
Side to side he swung
I was the first to see
*
But the closer I got
The sadder he seemed
His eyes were closed
As if they dreamed
*
And only up close
Did I see what's wrong
His swing wasn't right
It stopped his song
*
Around his blue neck
The thick rope went
I don't think that's
What the old man meant
*
Before closer inspection
A sudden yell was heard
Then followed a second
And finally a third
*
Mum, Dad and sis
They all followed me
With great sorry they said
It's not a swing in the tree
*
The police eventually came
They took the man away
I wondered if he was fine
Or if he'd rather stay
*
Later that evening
Mum sat down to talk
She explained to me
That in life, you walk
*
You walk a long road
Until your path ends
The man stopped walking
Because he had no friends
*
And until my last moments
I'd still think of the lonely man
I wondered if I could join him
Now I know that I can
