Premiere Contest WinnerAngel -Fv

It's way back before I reached 
       Age of double-digits
     But very clear in my memories
       Is a book-store boy
    Little taller than us
      Forever referred "little devil" by the owner
   But for us,my brother, sister and me
     He was our sweet big brother
   For he gave us most attention 
     Among all the older girls and boys
   We shared with him
      Stories of classes and friends
    On our way back home
      In his astonishment  and laughters
   Sometimes he shed a tear or two
      Quenching our innocent curiosity
   Said it's because of dust from busy roads
      But now we three perceive
   It was his grief to be left out from education
      One day after our final exams
   Rain came down in torrents
      In the dim gleam of cloudy noon
   He accompanied us to home soaking through rains
      And then Dad's transfer
   Made us go places on the next terms
     But that boy has left his imprints
   In childhood chapters of our life
      We couldn't manage to know about his whereabouts
   Or even his name returning to our old town
      So we three gave him a name "Kind Angel"
   After all what's in a name

Why did I give you first place? Because you made me cry! Some people touch our hearts. Some called him "Little Devil" but you saw him as "Kind Angel" Congratulations on a fine first place win!
