Toy soldier

Alone and abandoned

the toy soldiers lies

child after child, each one wanting only to play

the toy soldier lies deep in the mud

tears of children needing comfort soaked into the wood

until they wished to play with him yet again

until he is yet again dropped in the mud

only to be picked up by yet another pair of young hands

flying around, being tossed about

the toy soldier continued on strong

until his wood began to crack, allowing mud to seep

and the mud to seal

and the wood, to crack
