weary...

Just some thoughts I had while on my journey home some night, waiting for the bus and during the bus journey:

Father, Father, why do the people look so sad?
What troubles make them frown?
Child, they have worries just as you do.
Some of them are going to be late;
Some are way too early.
Some who are on time have more than too much to do;
Those not busy are bored.
A lot of people on the road are tired, my child,
But most of them are simply weary.
