Where It Was

Where was the ocean when I wanted to swim
Where were your toys when you wanted to play
Where were my glasses when the sun came out
Where was the money when the talk was empty

Why do things go missing
How can things disappear
Who comes in to steal what we don’t have
Who will return what was thrown away

Where are the tissues to blow my nose
Where were the notes for me to study
Where is the book I had to read
Where were you going when I was at home
