I Stand Alone

                                                         "I stand alone"
                                             were the words he had said....
                                                 A lonely schoolyard boy,
                                                   In his first days dread.

                                              He had spent all his recess
                                                    trying hard to pretend
                                           that in the midst of his sadness
                                                 He did not need a friend.

                                              Then....just when he figured
                                                 He knew not what to do.....
                                           ....A little girl broke the silence...
                                           "CAN I PLAY HERE WITH YOU?"

                                              The little boy became gleeful.
                                               She had brightened his day....
                                              He could reply with one laugh
                                            the sweet words,"YES,YOU MAY."

                                                So to close,if this awakens
                                              the small schoolchild in you,
                                              it is because you were aware.....
                                        that YOU ONCE STOOD ALONE TOO.
