A CHILD'S UNDERSTANDING
I lost a tooth.
I was quite upset.
But I got a quarter
So, I understood.
I fell off my bike.
I scraped my knee.
I admit I cried.
But, I understood.
The neighbor boy hit me.
I believe he hates me.
I hit him back and he cried.
Then I understood.
I got the measles.
I had to stay in bed.
Missing school was okay.
Easy to understand.
I broke my leg skating.
It hurt so much, scary.
I had to wear a cast.
I totally understood.
Two guys attacked me.
I had to fight both of them.
They leave me alone now.
Then they understood.
I fell in love with a girl.
She is from the Middle East.
My friends hate her.
I’ll never understand.
