He walked up the hill,
Where was he going, what was at the top?
He was tired, he was very cold.
Why did he not have his coat on?

Grandma

You wanted to go over there,
So we walked you down the ward
On your old unsteady body
To see - but home was miles away.

Wayne

He didn't know me,
as I stood by his hospital bed
in that sterile room
where he tries to live.
