The children, they giggled
They laughed and they talked
Their smiles landing ear to ear
But soon too many noons disappeared
The night rolled onto too many mornings
The leaves fell from the trees too many autumns ago
They no longer giggle
They no longer laugh
This is the darkest place at last
This is the darkest place at last
the guffaw to growl i’ve entered a time of doom….
