Things and Moods

One little boy went home one night alone.
He was traveling from here to there and no one knew.
He thought what a wonderful earth he had and how many people he had met.
And yet, there was no one there around him.
He thought about all of the people in their homes going about their business.
About people who talked about things that he didn't know.
About lives he didn't imagine.
And yet, he was going home, in the night and watching the stars above.
At home he had a warm bed, a warm meal, and a warm lamp.
At home he would begin wondering and doing things.
At home he has a computer to entertain him.
And still his life wasn't as the lives he saw in his mind's eye.
While he was walking, the boy saw a car going by.
The car had a man inside.
He was all alone going somewhere.
Where is he going wondered the boy.
But still he was going home.
