We are left alone as babies in the cradle, <br />We are left alone as riders on the saddle, <br />We are left alone as debtors to the dismay, <br />We are left alone as candidates to convey. <br /> <br />The parents leave us alone when we are young, <br />Then we leave them alone when they are old, <br />When sorrow keeps us alone, it is too sad, <br />When the lifeless form is left alone, it is not bad.<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-will-be-left-alone/
