His Only Friend
His Only Friend
By Elton Camp
That things aren’t all right, Tim is aware
And finds lack of love very hard to bear
He hears his parents say he was unintended
And that their lives and plans he upended
Exactly what that means, Tim is uncertain
But from the words his little heart is hurtin’
He doesn’t know what he has done wrong
But in the family he feels he doesn’t belong
Father comes home and pushes Tim aside
Never sees that it leaves his son teary-eyed
Mother has no desire to give him a loving hug
But instead she will roll her eyes and shrug
Food, clothes and toys his parents will give
Not the emotional support he needs to live
Sam, the neighbor’s dog is his very best friend
And very gladly has time with Tim to spend
