As the Child Dances
Life is too serious he thought,
As the coffin was opened in front of him.
No longer do we marvel at a child's laugh,
Watch the rain fall,
Get lost in the beauty of each other.
Life is too serious he thought,
As the pine door was opened.
No longer do we dance just to dance,
No longer do we laugh just to laugh,
No longer are us just to be us.
Life is too serious he thought,
As he stared into his brother's cold face.
No longer do we love for free,
No longer do enjoy unsolicited...
No longer, until it is too late....
