Poems that I Love!

Sugar And Spice And Everything Nice

by JOY 14

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