Time's Path

One small girl dances through the mind
Searching for a young soul that she can’t find
She searches lonely for her only friend
No one replies to the message she sends

For the little boys gone
He’s got no place to stay
Burned down his haven
He’s got no place to play
He finds himself at the start of a road
He takes his first step and already he’s old

When she realizes he’s gone she starts cry
Why would he leave with out saying good-bye?
Was it her fault? Did she case him away?
Why did he leave her with no one to play?

For the little boys gone
He’s got no place to stay
Burned down his haven
He’s got no place to play
He finds himself at the start of a road
He takes his first step and already he’s old

Through her tears she spotted a note
Silent she read what the little boy wrote
“Don’t cry my friend it’s not your fault I leave
Cheer up and smile there’s no reason to grieve.”

For the little boys gone
He’s got no place to stay
Burned down his haven
He’s got no place to play
He finds himself at the start of a road
He takes his first step and already he’s old

“I lived in my heart, I grew up too fast
There no way I could stay stuck in the past.
I left you a map to the path I trod.
Follow if you wish.” Determined she nods.

For the children are gone
They left where they stayed
Burnt and abandoned
No longer they played
Now they walk hand in hand on a long dusty road
Together forever, a sight to behold
