The Ad
I finally broke down and placed an ad
Desperate for that which I once had
Hoping for help in helping me out
Not sure it'll happen since I still have my doubts
First thing I have on top of my list
That I most miss is my childhood innocence
If anyone knows where it is
Could you give me a call, I'll pay top dollar for it
Then there's the love I'd keep beside of me
Wherever I went unconditionally
Sharing with those I felt were in need
Now I need it back, desperately
I remember when I held forgiveness by the hand
Yet over the years I cynically let it slip
The craziest thing about this is
I struggle to forgive myself for losing it
I've started out looking for just a few
I figure if I get these back I'll be doing good
Next I'll be looking to get back my clue
If I had that I'm sure I'd know what to do
Which brings back the purpose for this ad
Desperate for that which I once had
Looking for help in helping me out
Hope against hope these can be found
