A Whiteboard On a Refrigerator

A local doctor’s contact number
Few grocery items,
Some fun wish lists were also there..
Blow bubble, coloring pens 
and request for balloons.

There were some detailed writings
In the neat handwriting of an 8-year-old
What and how 
She is offering her services
And her expectations, though.

On the corner, there 
Was a tollfree number, 
A hotline number to prevent suicide 
Under all those happy and wishful items
Still a little figure, an un-erased one.
