Cardboard Box
F J McCarthy on Jun 10, 2009
Starring across a sea of souls
I cannot fathom how vast.
Still I feel so very lonely.
As though I am the last.
Walking through the city streets
Being pushed from all their mass.
Never once though do our eyes meet
No recognition as they pass.
Life it seems will run it’s course
So many rivers fed by streams.
The old man living in a cardboard box
Was a child once, filled with dreams.
So quickly life can pass us by,
Take a moment just to think.
The possessions that we hold so dear
All we know gone in a blink
So please my friend look me in the eye
I was once a child ,it’s true
Just say hello as you pass me by.
That is all I ask of you.
