Daily Courthouse
The people quickly come and go
All with problems in there lives
They all have different stories
Yet there lives are all alike
They are here to see a Judge
Who may decide to give them time
Or allow them to feel mercy
And give them one more try
Some are here to sue a neighbor
With whom they were great friends
But now they feel an anger
And that friendship soon will end
Two lovers get a license
So that soon they may wed
Two others sign the papers
And say there love was just pretend
Two children are adopted
And now say mom and dad
Two others go to jail
For a crime that was so bad
This is your daily courthouse
Where people come and go
They all have different stories
That we all should want to know

Just random thoughts that go in and out of my mind as I watch people come and go at a large city courthouse.
