PRISON
Prison can be behind a pane of glass for some
Waiting, hoping for a loved one to return
Sadly they yearn
Hearts ache and burn
Praying that some happiness will come
Lonely, sad and isolated comes the day
When years have taken toll of youth
Say the uncouth
”Long in the tooth”
Then lose themselves in working and in play
They never saw lovers running hand in hand
Nor heard the laughter ringing loud and bold
How when they are old
Will they seek a hand to hold
Such hands are never given on demand
The old of today knew a different way
Love and the family ruled for ever
All were in life together
Through good and stormy weather
Let Millenium year be a return to yesterday
