A Lost Boy



There was a child and he was alone.
Nowhere to go, no place to call home.
His only friend was the man in the moon.
Sometimes they would go and play, too.
One night as he closed his eyes,
he saw a shadow flying by.
It was his wishes flying.
He wished he had
a mom and a dad,
but he still had a friend.
It was the man in the moon...the end.
