THE  DAY  TOMMY  DIED


The sunny day smiled sweetly on the gleaming sandy shore,
And the children all played gaily as they oft had done before.
So the parents in this summer warned them, "Careful as you swim!"
For the sea has cunning ways of commanding everything.

But a naughty little fellow, wandered off around the cove,
And was tempted to dive under as along the bay he roved.
In he gave to his temptations, in he dived, out from the shore.
But an undercurrent held him, and he soon was seen no more.

All the bathers flocked to seek him, but oh, the fruitless try.
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, came to search, and came to cry.
How their hearts were all a - broken when they thought how Tommy Lee,
Had just drowned in DISOBEDIENCE and left all in misery.
