Walking around
Round after round
We walk around 
Each path leading us furthur:
Removal of the present
Walking in a trance
Far away the old man sighs
Nearer here she lies alone
Thirteen hours ere she found
Well-meaning grandson's face so glum
And tears began to fall in shock
Profound sadness
Too steep for one to pen
Too harsh for one to bear.
