The only child
Despite what people say
Can be a lonely child
Despite what people do
To help and entertain
An enquiring active mind
Toys, trinkets, books and games
Learning how to get along just fine, alone
Till one day soon
The child becomes a man
Life now full of people
All the time
Work, friends, family
Fill the days, the years
They pass too soon
The only child
The lonely child
Now finds the company of one
No longer fun
It never was, maybe for some?
