Mr. March

Mr. March, Mr. March
What are we to do with you?
You came home one day,
          barely alive.
Your family loves you,
          and wants to help you.
Mr. March, Mr. March
Grace you loved
But that then faded
Your wife found out,
          when you were near death
She went to her to yell
But then found out the truth...
          about the hair she had found
It was not Grace’s for she has a different type
That then left her with questions
Mr. March, Mr. March
You know whose hair that was
That cute little boy who died in your arms
You’ll never forget that day
That dreadful day
The day that changed you
Mr. March, Mr. March
Come back
Your family needs you back
Back like you were, the loving father and husband
The kind, gentle man you used to be
Mr. March,
          what are we to do with you?
