Some people may laugh
Others may just stare
They see only half
Of what was once all there
If they knew the story behind that piece
Laughter would be the last thing they'd release

I'll never forget that warm summer day
Or the railroad tracks where you decided to play
They said to be careful and step back
You didn't listen so now a hand you lack
Couldn't get loosse when the train came
Doesn't matter to me I love you the same

Would stand beside you come what may
Regardless of what others have to say
True beauty we know comes from within
So never to them should you lower your chin
Hold your head high and walk tall and proud my friend
I will be here by you until the end

The missing piece doesn't bother me any
The tasks you can do still number many
Oh how quickly things can change
If they knew, they wouldn't look at you strange
So lean on me when the going gets tough
Together we'll tackle all obstacles regardless how rough

Sorry this took so long, Redwriter1....been a busy week!!!  Hope it is what you were looking for!!
