I’M HERE!
My wagon went off the road, It turned upside down and I’m hurt,
The weather Is good so I lay here In the sun of the day In much pain.
Looking around I see the damage, my supplies are everywhere scattered,
There are people counting on me but I am where not a heart will see me.
As I stare up to the sky I see hawks circling about, not today I say,
I’m alive! there must soon be another wagon on the road passing by.
The crows are getting at the ripped open bags of seed, I throw my empty canteen,
My friends, the town must be searching for me now, I will be found alive.
Time passes by, please find me before the light turns to the dark of night,
A sound, a rumble getting closer, I try to let out a yell but I’m very weak,
I’m here!, with one burst of energy I scream, I’m here! I’m here!.
