I DON’T KNOW WHO THEY ARE
OR EVEN WHERE THEY’RE FROM
A CHEERY SMILE
ONE QUICK HELLO
THEN SLOWLY AMBLE ON.
THE LOOK OF SLIGHT ABANDONMENT
OF NOWHERE TO BELONG
CLOTHING SLIGHTLY TATTERED
FINGERS COLD AND NUMB.
ALWAYS GOING ONE WAY
NEVER LOOKING BACK
ONE WILL HOLD SOME PAPERS
THE OTHER HOLDS A SACK.
THEY SEEM SO VERY HAPPY
WITH THE LIFE THEY LEAD
NEVER REALLY WANTING
YET GETTING WHAT THEY NEED.
NO BURDEN LADEN SHOULDERS
FEW WORRIES ON THEIR MIND
AS LONG AS THEY’VE EACH OTHER
THEY’LL TAKE THINGS AS THEY FIND.
HOW NICE TO KEEP LIFE SIMPLE
PUSH DAILY CHORES ASIDE
JUST TRAVEL THROUGH THEIR LIVES AS ONE
THE WANDERER AND HIS BRIDE.
