Since long ago, in this cold world, I feel I don't belong. I'm here and there in corners curled. It is so strange and wrong. Repressed memories, you say? I can't remember, Doctor. I'm trying to remember who I am, but I just hear an endless country song. Not ready for this place so big, I am alone and lost. Still driving in that lonely rig in the grim land I've crossed. She was pulled from my reaching hand, among shouted instructions and screams by cruel men in uniforms. They left me and Teddy alone. Among the fake, your voice so true can do this boy no harm. I never have forgotten you. I long for your two arms.

Your second stanza hit me like a rock, David. Any time I am NOT focused on something productive, the words of two old hyms ring in my brain. I played piano at church for sixty-five years and of all the songs I know - these two are consistently there, day in, day out. A touching piece, I wish you well in the contest. i like the alteration between rhyme and free verse.
