Sitting On the Grass

Young man sitting next to me 
        on the grass,
            I asked him,
If I am depressed can you help me?
         I heard his voice, 
I will expect you to feel alive 
     never look back 
   go on with your life
  I'll bring you back home
  and will never leave 
        you alone.

When I am chilly young man?
 will you cover me 
   with your coat 
protect me from thunder 
       and rain?
I will carry you under the tree
shield you till the sunrises.

Young man, I lost everything 
and I am trying to survive,
      will you help me? 
I will reason with you 
as some things in life are made
      not to last forever.

Young man if I am crying 
 as I live daily only 
      as an image
walking dead as a tool 
  which makes me feel 
      like a fool?
 I will wipe your tears
     embrace you, 
search for a way to please you
    and make you proud
        of who you are.

Young man if I need a friend 
   how will you help me? 
I will befriend you forever,
  lean towards sharing, 
consent to create a harmonious
 lovable atmosphere 
     till you sense never
        be solo again.

Young man if I want to kill myself
 as my injuries can never heal
 it's my soul's wounds
    what will you do? 

I will forbid you to do that,
but enforce you to predict 
     your happiness
use your vigor to promote
      your emotions
 steal success
    and throw away failure. 

Acknowledge your age 
      to improvise
what is best for you,
 as looking backwards 
can have an impact 
     on your life.

     Young man,
 I need my children
    I live in agony 
an era that seems seamless 
     without them.
Inform them to grab me away
  as my heart is heartless
        unstable. 

   Beg them to stand by
to pick up the broken pieces
 before it is irreparable.
 Will you do that for me
    young man?
Yes, I guarantee
they will rescue you
   before dawn.

My friend young man
get me off the grass, 
walk me to the bank,
     please. 

Arrived at the bank 
 holding his hand 
she asked the teller
to bring out her
  last 20$.
 
    This is for you 
to thank you for sitting
 on the grass with me.
    
       Young man 
your image will be engraved
    in my heart,
        forever.
