Childhood Song

There was an actor once, whose age Was far too young To warrant tragedy on stage. A sapling’s roots were harshly wrung And taken far away, Where to a barren rock they clung. I, likewise, did not have a say When I was torn and flung, And yet I lived and thrive today. This is my childhood song. Find my poems and published poetry volumes at www.eton-langford.com
