one reason to live

By bethanygreen

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

They were there right beside you Then they dissapeared They were supposed to be there forever Then they were torn away and taken They objected to the gesture But the mother always wins You cant see them anymore she says As you watch your life crumble You wonder if there is any reason left to live Then you turn around and see that one smiling face That one reason to live You can't leave him alone You know he'll help you through it No matter what happens in your life © on Jun 11 2001 04:01 AM PST   0 • 1
