The Song

As described

He staggered to the medline,
wept bitterly from his soul
for words that he could never find
to describe that gaping hole.
Somewhere in the sands of time,
a boy still plays at his father's feet
where 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.
