I will never forget

Inspired by the novel The Watsons Go To Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis

I will never forget that day that had me want to lose it all

That day that had me remembering that doll

It was so sudden that I could no longer pay attention

But all was lost, and only one thing to mention

It felt like I was walking through a cloud smoke

When I finally awoke

I saw it lying on the ground

I pulled with desperation

But how could I?

All the damage on the ground

And yet, I still made it found

I did it! It’s free! But missing a major part.

I held onto the shoe

That part, I found, has been waiting for me
