lonely wanderer



from day light to darkness,
from dawn light to dusk.
day after day,
with no one to trust.
with tears in his eyes,
with tares in his heart.
day after day,
alone is his part.
far from his homeland,
in strange lands he must,
stagger alone,
in god only trust.
until death like a lover,
with trembling kiss,
will take him away,
where he wont be missed.
