Life Is That Way

A man weeping in the rain
A girl sitting by the way 
A Bag soaking It was grey 
My car sporty with no space 
My heart broke for their day 
I stopped Asking for their way 
little girl  pointing that way 
Luckily I lived that way 
The bag? Could it be left 
I simply do not have space
And the rain may sweep you away 
Tears running down his face 
The man whispered to my face 
Please do not live my wife in the rain 
Take my daughter she can show you the way 
Later In the news back at my place 
Hot chocolate and gin to warm my breath 
I saw on the news a man was swept away 
By the raging rains on the way to that way 
In the other news, a young girl was found dead 
besides her mother  in a bag all grey 
I sipped my gin and wept 
Anyway life is that way 
At times it happens anyway
