Pay

I often think of one devastating day

A baby wandered out, only to play

Its life swiftly snatched stealing the future

No one can question that it was premature

How much pain should one endure?

Time is said to be the truest cure

Is tragedy a test of ones soul?

Who is that is collecting the toll?

I know of one that has paid enough for many

Is it to see if they will succumb and ask for pity?

I alone cannot pay the dues that this one person has paid one time

Is it because of this they have paid more… is it a sign?
