LOSTED by BURGES JOHNSON

First Line: I FEEL SO FAR FROM ANYWHERES!
Last Line: I'M JUST AS LOSTED AS I WAS.
Subject(s): CHILDREN; FEAR; CHILDHOOD;

I feel so far from anywheres!
Perhaps my family
Has got so many other cares
They've all forgotted me.
I s'pose I'll starve to skin an' bone
If I stay losted here alone.

My little dog, he founded me,
An' wagged his tail an' whined,
But he can't lead me home, for he
Is taught to walk behind.
And so I'm crying yet, becuz
I'm just as losted as I was.
