Yesterday, when the rain was pouring,
The little girl was watching.
Not thinking, not contemplating;
The little girl was silently processing.
It doesn’t matter now as much as it will
Later on, while managing through the ills.
Tomorrow, scared to control the wheel,
she will be able to find a way to heal.
