In a Corner

In a corner, all forlorn, He crouches and he waits. In a corner all forlorn, He trembles and he waits. In a corner all forlorn, He hears the stairs creak. In a corner all forlorn, He sobs and he waits. In a corner all forlorn, He's made to play the game. Every night it is the same, so, In a corner all forlorn, He crouches and he waits. I just got a very strong gut feeling to write this for children everywhere May God enfold and protect them from all harm . © Dave Timperley 2012
