Little Boy There was once a little boy..
He lived in a lonely house..
In a little lonely Corner...
On a lonely road...

this little boy..
seldom ventured out of his lonely house..
instead often hiding in the lonely corner..
on his little lonely bed..

but one day...
the little boy decided..
to walk down the lonely road..
through the streets and to a park..

there in the little park..
he saw other children playing around..
laughing gleefully as they ran around..
on the see saw, swing and merry go round...

from outside the fence, the little boy stood
staring into the playground...
seeing boys and girls playing daintilly...
oh how he longed to be a part of them...

and yet when he entered the playground..
no one came to play with him...
he sat one the see saw...alone..
he sat on the swing...alone...

day by day the boy walked to the park
day by day no one played with him
day by day he sat alone...
and he felt even lonelier than before...

he felt like a total stranger...
looking from the outside watching in..
he felt he didn't belong...
that he wasn't like or could fit in...

and yet one day, something different happened..
a girl by happenstance, saw the boy alone
she saw his sad face and took pity on him....
and that day...the boy found that he wasn't alone anymore...

the girl taught him how to play...
on the swing, the slide and the merry go round..
on the see saw she sat with him...
and the boy finally learnt how to smile...

though they spoke different languages initially..
and couldn't understand each other at the beginning..
day by day their friendship grew....
camarederie and laughter were the order of the day...

but then...something horrible happened...
something that was beyond comprehension...
and suddenly...the girl was no longer there....

and the boy was alone......again....  ¶ 8:25 PM
