A Mended Rhyme

Tad Morose

He sat there so idle just sat on the ground

I watched as he mumbled but

I heard no sound I dared not go closer

I dared not at first but somehow I got there



My son said the father I can not explain

The reason I left you has caused me much pain

I dared not come closer I dared not at first

But somehow I got there



Sometimes I hear them in my mind

Dare I join them now

It's a mended rhyme at a preset time

Join them now or lose them forever a silent mime The final chime just join them now



He did not lift his eyes just sat there and cried Now I know the words I heard him say

I joined him on my knees and then even I cried

He wiped away my tears that's when I heard him say...
