Sudden Kindness
Sudden Kindness
You spilled the milk! she sharply said
And I, clumsy little bit of a girl that I am
Hung my head and nodded in guilty silence
And that's all there is! she rebuked me further.
Nodding again, I felt a big tear form in my eye
Slide down my face and fall into the small white puddle
I could never do anything right no matter how hard I tried
That much had been established.
Feeling her anger, I sought to run but could not move
My bare feet were frozen to the spot
My tears, falling like rain now and blurring my vision
I did not see her moving towards me.
There, there, she said in a soothing tone
As she took me into her arms and smoothed back my hair
It's alright, it's only milk, it's not gold. We'll go buy more
And I was so surprised by her sudden kindness that I began to weep.
