A short day

I had a sad
Short day today,
I rode on my bicycle
with a sad little girl.

Her big heart
Was breaking with sadness.
She held on to
My waist tightly,
And sniffs followed.

I asked her,
" What is it little girl?"

She told me crying,
Gesturing  with her
Little hands,
" When I grow up,
And I am tall,
Then become an adult,
I don't want to ever look back
And be sad.
Just like now,
When mom left me"

" No little girl," I told her
''Just be a little girl,
And cry, and feel sad,
And look back,
You don't want
Not to look back
And cry."

Then I peddled
My bicycle faster,
I hope the wind
Carried away her
Sadness.
