Abandoned
Have you ever felt abandoned
Left to fight your foes alone.
Is there no one there to talk to
Are you faced with the unknown.
Have you ever felt so lonely
With no one to lend a hand.
Are you living all by yourself.
Contrary to what you planned.
Have all of your friends abandoned you
Though they said they never would
You say you can no longer count on them
To help you as they should.
Have you tried to live your life
Caring for those dear to you.
Only to be thrown away
Like an old and worn out shoe.
Have you ever felt discarded
With only blind hope to be your guide
Losing all that you once had
No ones left on your side.
But don’t despair and don’t surrender.
Keep your life’s spirit warm, not cold
There is a rainbow out there.
With a pot full of gold.
Or perhaps you’ll meet a leprechaun
Hiding in the clover.
He will grant you a special wish
And help you to recover.
Perhaps there is a lion
With a thorn stuck in his paw.
You remove it safely
And you will have a friend evermore.
So many things are possible
To make your life worth living.
There are new friends who will be found
And family forgiving.
So please rejoin the human race
There is so much happiness for all
Reach out for the silver ring of life
And do not let it fall.
