There was once a young boy
who became very sad
after he lost his best friend
his loving father
and
dad
He sat in his room
wondering what he was good for
he doesn't believe
that his father was lost
in a war
He didn't know what to do
he lost him in such a hurry
he felt like he was trapped
he was lost in a terrible
flurry
Setting out on his new life
he tried his best to live
But all the love in his heart
he simply couldn't easily
give
It's been a few years
his dad still hasn't come back
he doesn't want to believe
that his father died
in
Iraq
He didn't know what to do
he didn't know where to turn
but he wanted his dad
and his father's love - over and over
how he
yearned
Still living in depression
he keeps on with his life
but now he believes
it has only doubled his
strife
He waits for his father
who will never come back
and he still doesn't believe
that his dad was killed
in
Iraq
