Jack

Do you see that lonely man
Just talking to himselfΒ 
I bet a buck, he's lived a life
Once consumed by wealth

Look at how his dressed today
That suit would not be cheapΒ 
His shoes do seem to match his hat
The colours are quite deep

Yet there he sits, all alone
What happened in his life
Does he have a home to go
Does he have a wife

I wonder if I talked to him
Would he answer back
Tell the story of his life
I know his name is JackΒ 

One day I will sit near him
I'll offer first a smileΒ 
Then see if he will give one back
We might just chat awhile

Though now today he isn't here
An empty chair I see
I missed my chance, he now is gone
Hopefully now he's free

Often have I thought this Tammy... Wonder if I will be the silent one sitting under the tree. Every life is a story. Beautifully told Tammy. Hugs and Blessings, Rebecca

I see everything but the world doesn't see me
I feel very trapped when I should be flying free...

Final decision

Why is it that he never learns
or stops his endless lies
How hard is it to see my pain...

A Lesson

Don't ever forget your ghosts of past
Remember those faces well
Forgive them, for that life...
