A Crack In the Sidewalk

The crack in the sidewalk watched me today as I walked to school alone that one summer day The Sun was opening its wings for me Had only two miles to walk among the Grove trees It seemed to talk to me as knowing what is and could be why my Mother left only a lost dream. The crack in the sidewalk was there for me as I walked in the scorching heat with little summer breeze wandering aimless I found a puppy laying under a lone shade tree The crack in the sidewalk was laughing at me as I took her home to be with me Charcoal her name will always be the key tied around my neck opened the door while No one was there Milk was free and she came to be with me The crack in the sidewalk stared at me we laughed and played every day until eve I took my bike crossed the street a car came and took her from me The crack in the sidewalk I'll always see my arm held tight my little baby with me a broken heart never to be glued just a lonely child that Loved someone new
