A mask and then goodnight A shake and then the light The scent of berries haunts my breath; I prayed it all went right A feel and then a sigh A tap and then a cry The colorful cast engulfed my body, And then I thought to pry A question left unanswered Plagues a curious mind And as a child, I had hopes, that All my answers I'd soon find But all there was to come of that Was pity and his old friend pat, A "close your eyes, you need to rest!" And that is all there ever was to that

The Crippled Child
A mask and then goodnight A shake and then the light The scent of berries haunts my breath; I prayed it all went right A feel and then a sigh A tap and then a cry The colorful cast engulfed my body, And then I thought to pry A question left unanswered Plagues a curious mind And as a child, I had hopes, that All my answers I'd soon find But all there was to come of that Was pity and his old friend pat, A "close your eyes, you need to rest!" And that is all there ever was to that
