Life is tough walking alone
A family taken away from something unknown
Left somewhere between
Right and wrong.
Nice and mean.
They don't recognize you as you are
A person.
Not a farce.
Making you feel as if you are a black hole in space
Sucking everyone's life away
Recognition would be nice
But that isn't what you need
Maybe you just have finally become
A friend in need
So you ask the guy that showed you the way
The man that stood in other peoples way
While he stood strong
So you could run and play
A man that guides you down the right path
A man that most people never had
The man who has a story for every clue
The man who looks like me and you
The man that told you to rise above the rest
The man with a heart of gold hidden in his chest
If you know me then you know him
If you know us then you are most likely kin
But hold tight
As there was another who lead us a certain way
With a softer touch
Having puppets show us the way
Shows at night to help us sleep
With simple stuffed animals
Bought off the shelves
At the store where we got our food to eat
She was the one who made it all possible
A woman with a creative mind
Seizing every opportunity to make it play time
A woman who helped us through our grief
A woman that played with us
Every day of the week
A woman with a stature so small
A woman who was fighting a goliath
But would never fall
She too is a saint in her own way
Just more down to earth
Using nature and art
Instead of strength
To pave the way
