Lost and Found

Hello lost and found

Can you lend me a hand

I lost something precious to me

I don’t understand

Maybe I left it on a park bench

Maybe on a bus

One minute it was here

And the next it was lost

Yes, I guess

a description

Is really what you need

The item of concern

Is a memory

It had fire in it’s eyes

It dreamed and made plans

To lofty heights it aspired

And it always took a stand

It was the envy of every man

the world was it’s oyster

Pearls of wisdom dripped from it’s lips

It was happy, young and popular

Yes, I guess

It was careless

To take my eyes off such a prize

The price that I paid

Was wasted time

It’s the saddest of times

When you look back

And realize

Just what

you let

slip away

Hello lost and found

I rang you yesterday

I found a little piece

of my missing property

It was in my dreams

And when I awoke

It was lying next to me

Having a smoke

It kindly took me back

To where it all began

The place I put it down

Right when I turned and ran

All the other missing bits

Were waiting there for me

My smile, my pride, my honesty

And my empathy

Oh, thank you lost and found

You helped me solve my plight

The item of concern

Was in plain sight

Yes, I guess

a description

Is really what you need

The item that I lost

Was me
