A family day out; it’s a beautiful day
The sun is shining; it’s brisk, not cold
You’re running around and laughing
That sound never gets old
We’re waiting for our table
I promise it won’t be long
I know you’re getting irritable
Please wait; please hold on
Then I hear those awful words
Those words that tell me you’re gone
No one knows where you are
You were just here; having fun!
We search everywhere for you
But you’re nowhere to be seen
Time stood still before me
I was sickened with disbelief
Finally, we found you
Laying down, playing with trains
You don’t understand why I’m crying
You don’t understand my pain
