The Low Down for frien Thad Presley

sonnet

 

 

The low down

 

Mother; remember I am small

 a little over two feet tall

My view from here is limited

 the shopping mall a place of dread.

 

Boots and shoes are all I see

as people rush impatiently.

You have forgotten how it feels

 to see only toes and heels.

 

You hold me firmly by the hand

but I don’t think you understand

Just how it feels to be so small

 and dragged around a shopping Mall.

 

If you ere small and couldn’t see

then you would know what frightens me.

This reminds me of "Listening to the Littlest". It is a short book of children's perspectives. I love hearing things from a child's perspective. How soon we forget!
