Someone once told me
When I get older,
I will become stronger.

Someone once told me
When I get older,
I will become a winner in life.

Someone once told me
I can do anything.
But now, no one tells me.

Someone left without letting me know.
No calls or letters or presents
To make this horrible time go by.

I will never understand why it happens.
But my mother once told me,
It was best for him to leave.
