A Strange Little Lad
The story of the adventure of a strange little lad.
A Strange Little Lad
A t the top of a hill,
In a far away land,
In the cold winter chill,
Stood a strange little lad.
H e was different from the rest,
All independent and shy.
W hile they puffed out their chests,
He looked up to the sky.
H e smiled at their laughs;
Their points and their lines.
L ike the little black calf in the herd of the whites.
B ut on a certain day, they took it too far.
T hey pushed him, and poked him,
And insulted his Ma.
S o he left the small town,
The place he called home.
T o seek out his fortune,
And travel the globe.
H e was merchant, a servant, a butler, a chief.
U ntil one day, he was suddenly a thief.
S o into the night, the lad stole away.
Into the dark, he ran on til day.
U ntil he found a position to fill;
A protector who made the hard-earned bill.
F or years the lad protected his friends,
B ut Destiny, it seemed,
had other plans...
F or one day he heard,
A call from his home.
A small plea of help,
From a survivor alone.
Away went the lad,
To help make a stand.
T hat strange little lad,
Returned home a man.
