When I was a child, little
Like the kitten and puppy
Who lean on their grownup elders
For food, shelter and affection
I lived in a trailer
Called a mobile home
By some who don’t know
It’s just a trailer on cinder block
It’s just a trailer to live in
With grownups who give you
Their gifts of direction
Fears, praise and love
Or what they can of hope
Faith and grace
Like the kitten
Always playing, delighting
In the thrill of learning
I grew too old to play
Like the puppy
Always hungry for more
Than I could take in
I grew too old to partake
The trailer, rusty tin
Faded into a past
That I would love to be in
