Alone

Once there was this little boy who Stopped playing with the other kids in school, He had this little rubber ball And all day he’d bounce it against the wall, His teacher noticed there was something wrong So she asked him what was going on? ‘Nothings wrong’ is all he would say And with his ball he’d still play, After school she decided to follow him She found him going through a rubbish bin, Picked him up and took him home Only to discover he was there alone, The poor boy’s mother wasn’t there She up and left him without a care, Teacher took him and looked after him He never thought anyone would take him in, Two weeks went by and all was good Then on the doorstep a policeman stood, ‘Can I have a word about your mam’? ‘I’d like to come in if I can’ ‘We’ve searched all areas all around But she’s just nowhere to be found’, The little boy went to look for her instead And that’s when he found her lying there dead, One long month had past It seemed like a lifetime since he seen her last, With no family left he’s on his own His teacher’s house is now his home.
