A Long Lost Friend

Lend a hand, for others to stand
We all need a little help
Whenever trying, there’s no denying
Anything but to wilt
To go a bit further, gone are tethers
See what’s left when dry
Hearing the tune, another loon
Follow dreams to never die
Write the line, pass the time
In modern society
Quite a lesson, most forgotten
Swimming in the bluest sea
Been there and done that, the same old track
Never again will go
Try to remember, some say discover
What we’re meant to know
Some say a dream, a forgotten tree
Lost in the race to now
So convenient, traps are set
Ignoring the golden plow
Planting seeds, the bird is free
Flying through every cage
Open or closed, cross the moat
Living with every mistake
Growing strong, most will say it’s wrong
Seeking answers for the mind
Some will help, backing up the truck
A lift for all your climbs
Right or wrong, a part of the song
Over before you know it
While to last, forget the past
Laughing from the tragic
Until no longer funny, without any money
A struggle for everything
Nothing taken for granted, a will for standing
Sharing the songs you sing
Good and bad, happy or sad
Nobody really cares
Play in silence, your own reliance
Pay for every fare
Deserved or not, most will rot
The tactics to rule the day
A desparate plea, screaming to be
More than a part to play
It’s what we do, aware of the noose
That we’re all born in
Follow loons, the golden goose
Another long lost friend
