A Girl, Sitting Alone


A girl, sitting alone,

with tears running down her face,

wishes she had a friend

to spend time with her


With tears running down her face

the girl looks around,

trying to find a smile

or someone moving toward her.


The girl looks around,

enjoying the bright blue sky,

smiling at the children around her

playing so loudly.


Enjoying the bright blue sky,

sitting quietly by herself,

the girl relaxes

into the warm spring day.


Sitting quietly by herself,

the girl dreams about her dog

who is always her friend,

waiting for her at home.


This poem was something my mom wrote, it was from a couple years ago, but it sounded so much like me from that time.
