He looked out the window
With longing in his eyes
No tears fell to his cheeks
But just one question filled his mind
Why?
“Why must I stay here all alone?
I’m surrounded by people but none are my own.
Why do you have to go away each day?
Why can’t I stay with you at home and play?”
Why?
I drove away and counted all the reasons
Why I couldn’t stay at home.
Many fine excuses fell from my lips
But none could remove the pain in my heart.
Around 1987
