alone or not?

No one was there to console young Mark

Alone he was there in the deep dark

Of those he counted friends there were so few

Of his sad plight perhaps no one even knew

Alone was Mark with not a soul around

Empty and desolate no one to be found

Mourning and crying he must do on his own

For no one was there he was left all alone

Yet how can what stated above the truth be

For many each day young Mark they do see

How does he alone suffer mourn and cry

When hundreds each day to him are nigh
