The Lonely Lamp Pole

The lonely lamp pole 
Stand by the roadside
Day and night 
Watching 
Pedestrians too busy to look up 
Drivers too involved to admire 
The old lamp pole 
Just like an old mother 
Standing by the children's side 
Watching 
Too old to interfere 
Too old to be helpful 
And now 
The children have grown up 
Tall and fat 
And now 
They know how to fly 
High and far
And will finally 
Out of sight
