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
