Susan was a child to me,
who meant the world and more,
Unearthly Child in Earthly bounds,
her story is of lore.
A sweet young girl, the sharpest wit,
I smile, even today..
I recall the day too well,
the day she went away.
It was true love that caught her heart,
but with me she remained.
To care for her old grandfather,
although her heart was pained.
Then I knew it was not just,
to keep her, let her stay.
That terrible day, the only way,
to keep her from wishing her life away-
but carry on I must.
