• Reflections

    When I was walking down the beach
    I saw a little girl so lonely and out of reach
    She looked so sad and unwanted
    As she gazed out unto the sea

    Her hair was tousled, her eyes were red
    “Are you lost dear little girl ”I said
    She lifted her head but did not move
    I tried to comfort her, the best I could

    Then she finally looked at me
    Pointed at the water and asked
    “What do you see?”

    And to my surprise then,
    There was no little girl
    Instead it was just me

    Splashing the water I blindly ran
    Farther and farther from the foamy sea
    "That isn't true, it can't be me"
    I cried to the radiant sun
