What's The Point


                             The pain  
The hurt     
The want
The work
The play
The dirt
What’s it worth?
Who’s to say?
What’s the game?
Do you play?
Sing a song
Play along
Where has the day gone?
When it was okay just to play?
All the day long
Used to sing
Used to play
Used to just take the day
Those days are gone
Where did they go?
Did they blow away?
Was I wrong,
To sing my song?
To play along?
Was it too much?
To make no fuss?
Was it not enough
To not be so tough?
