When I was a Kid
Location
I remember
When I was a kid
I ran around
And always hid.
When I found something
Unusual or extraordinary
I ran to every person around.
"Ma, Look at what I found"
She looks at me
With a wonderful smile
And gives a gentle hug
"Pa, look at what I found"
He looks at it
With skeptism
But gives him me a pat on the head.
"My brother, look at what I found"
He looks at me, then it
Then he looks away
Continuing with his activities.
"Jane, look at what I found"
The doll gives me a blank look
Then I nod my head, as if I understood
"Oh I see,
Everyone else knows about it but me"
