Sugar And Spice And Everything <br />Nice! ! ! ! ! <br />I looked at her to see <br />mascara running down the sides of her face, <br />Mixing with a lot of tears <br />Of frustration mostly. <br /> <br />She glanced at me through tear glass eyes <br />Like a rain showered wind shield without window wipers, <br />Stopping to take my hand <br />playing with my fingers <br />carefully fingering my rings. <br /> <br />Then, something happened that surprised me <br />She smiled at me <br />A little smile, <br />On her little face <br />What could I do but <br />Just smile back. <br /> <br />I took a tissue and wiped up the rain, <br />took her hand and walked with her to the playground, <br />where she gladly played for hours on the swings <br /> <br />I sat and watched <br />perched, <br />on slanted monkey bars <br />and knew better than to leave my makeup just laying around<br /><br />Ayesha Raoof<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sugar-and-spice-and-everything-nice/
