He sat there so idle
just sat on the ground
I watched as he mumbled
but I heard no sound
I dared not go closer
I dared not at first
but somehow I got there

My son said the father
I can not explain
The reason I left you
has caused me much pain
I dared not come closer
I dared not at first
but somehow I got here

Sometimes I hear them in my mind
Dare I join them now

A mended rhyme
at a preset time
Join them now
or lose them forever
A silent mime
The final chime
Just join them now

He did not lift his eyes
just sat there and cried
Now I know the words
I heard him say
I joined him on my knees
and then even I cried
He wiped away my tears
that's when I heard him say
