Someone is stealing my toy cars

I had a collection of toy cars,

Gifted to me by shiny, bright stars.

Big and Small, Fast and Slow,

New and Old, Matte and Glow.

O Lord, Someone is stealing my toy cars away.

They helped me grow,

Made my childhood flow.

I thought they would always be with me,

In my every joy, happiness and glee.

O Lord, Someone is stealing my toy cars away.

When the first was stolen,

I was not woken.

When the second was taken,

I cried and wept and felt broken.

When the third was stolen,

I felt frozen.

Now when the fourth is gone,

I just weep and pray to end this aeon.

O Lord, Someone is stealing my toy cars away.

I remember playing with them,

I remember talking to them.

Now, I can’t find them anywhere,

I still wake up hoping it was a nightmare.

O Lord, Someone is Stealing my toy cars away.

I never knew this is the circle of life,

Even if someone says to me, I strife.

My presence is because of them,

Life without them is pseudonym.

O Lord, Someone is Stealing my toy cars away.

They prayed for me,

Today, they are a part of my prayers.

In their hug, I found peace,

The last time I saw them, they were at peace.

O Lord, Someone is Stealing my toy cars away.

Keep them safe wherever they are,

Share with them my happiness,

And hide my sorrow away.

O Lord, Someone is Stealing my toy cars away.
