The Child's Story

The Child

Set the stage
Lights to the actors
Velvet curtains open
Watchful eyes eager for the show

Prologue

Disguised men step to the stage
Building a story of life
Soulless strangers
Surround an ignorant child

Moving in-and-out
Swaying side-to-side
Strangers mold the child's mind
Sets the path of life

Gathering in a circle
Surrounding the child
The strangers remove their mask
Familiar Faces shine through

Familiar Faces teach right from wrong
Truth from fantasy
Praises the child
Scolds the child

Returned to the ignorance he was born with

A sacred bond with Where the Heart Is

Man, who was once Child
