ALONE

Two tiny cheeks were shivering

poised, tiny tears were quivering

silently, they slithered, down.

He stood there, quietly, all day

alone, he watched the children play

then turned, and sobbed

and left.

His tender heart was broken

from words that were unspoken

this tiny child was

mute.
