THERES A HANDFUL OF THINGS THAT I MISSED

One small book reading I can’t say I've had

Bows on the strings of my shoes

Sweet smelling sheets pulled up to my chin

A bandage to cover my knee

Fresh homemade cookies

Or a P B and J

Made by your hands … And only for me 

Hugs at the door when I come in from school

Or worry when I am not there 

The glance which is made when I walk down the street 

(Into places that shouldn’t have been)

The moments of pretty or special

One dress picked only for me

A room or a bed... to call all my own


In a place which I could call home
