# # Out Of The Blue Poem by Sonya Florentino

# # Out Of The Blue

Rating: 5.0


A little girl on the bus today
made another little girl cry
When she wouldn’t let the
other one sit beside her

The dejected girl ran back to
her father’s lap in tears
While the other girl’s mother
kept saying “I’m sorry, we’re sorry”

Everyone in the bus looked so unhappy
The sobbing girl broke everyone’s heart
As for me, I thought, well
Isn’t she lucky…

I tried hard not to recall
another little girl
Who couldn’t find solace
from a dark cruel world
(But I couldn't...)

I run out the bus
But not fast enough
She was already crying

Wow this really made my heart ache for that little girl, still unclaimed in the past, out of reach forever now. Just keep loving her; and everything will turn out fine in the end. (smile)

This is a powerful emotionally charged poem Sonya and so very well penned. We women all have a little girl in us that needs to be loved and nurtured and your little girl is no exception, although she may have found life more difficult than others. As the other poets say 'love her and say all is well'. 10 love Karin

Interesting how small incidents can trigger personal reactions that run deep. The story of the little girl on the bus introduces your personal confession very cleverly. The result is as moving as it is unexpected. A well crafted poem. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
