Connected
Alone, and in his mind
He etches on a wall
Every day left behind.
Each day that prolongs
He clings onto hope
Home is where he belongs.
At home, and in her mind
Etched memory on The Wall
Every day he’s left behind.
Together, they connect
Their hope will never fail
One day, they will prevail.
