As a child, so scared and fearful,
School terrified and alarmed.
Children gravitated as magnets pull.
Laughing, holding hands.

Making friends with so much ease,
Yet not for me, for I would freeze.
Home is where I longed to be
Not thrust into rooms of noise and mayhem
And crowded places, squeals and noisy games.

“Will you be my friend?”
One other child as scared as I,
Held out one chubby hand.
She saved me, as I did her.

Yet life took us far apart,
But thoughts of her still crossed my mind.
Returning home across the miles
To see my family, I thought
I’d seek her out. I knocked upon her door

My heart was beating fast
An old lady stood upon the step,
And yet with unforgettable smile
She asked. “Yes? Can I help?”

I said, “Tell me about your life.
And all the things you’ve done?
It’s over forty years, but
Do you remember me?”
