There was that day
In the park

The sun was hot.
My hand were cold
In the pockets of my
Giant blue jacket.

They climbed up and
Down the slide.

I watched.

Pitifully

From the wood chips
Bellow

By the sign that
Reminded me I need
A mommy to play.

Or a daddy.

I had neither.

You saw that.

Your hand extended
To offer help on the stairs.
And your mommy smiled.
She asked my name
And took off my coat.
