Alone

when i see a ball
sitting listless on a lawn
should i be sad
that it was left there
     alone 
or happy that it was played with
     yesterday?

As short as it is, I found this very deep and thought provoking!

when i see a ball sitting in a lawn, i always look for a child nearby (because of my job) guess you could look at it both ways...good one....short but packs a punch and makes one think.... :) hugs
