ANC 41: not alone

126. Are we alone? (Tufts)

Crawling on four limbs,

Spilling spits everywhere, 

With hankie hung around the neck, 

the small creature gets attention;

"Come here! Here's a candy for you!" 

"Aww, let me clean diapers for you" 

The small creature now on two limbs, 

Attending school and learning society, 

Faces pressure from different world

And forgets the true supporters around;

"You can do it. Don't be depressed"

"I will pray for you. Best of luck!"

The creature now bigger than ever, 

With responsibilities and stress on shoulders,

Bends its back slowly, 

Losing track of its beloved in front;

"I respect my Daddy!"

"I love you, honey"

On two limbs supported by one artificial limb,

The creature enervated, shaking, 
Sadly sits in a corner of balcony, 
Gazing at the sky that gives warm sunlight
Over the creature thinking to be 
All alone for these years. 


Having never looked around, 
the creature failed to realize 
that there were always someone around, 
that there's always someone caring and watching,
that it was never alone.
