Weeping Child
A young child lying in bed
Crying and, waiting to be fed
Tears rolling down his face
Waiting for that little taste.
Nice and, fool he goes to sleep
No more reason for him to weep
He's sleeping like a little angel
The smile on his face and, his
blanket in a tangle.
Lying there like a little bundle of joy
With his teddy bear and, his toy
