"The Circus"
I tossed and turned all the night long 'cause I
was excited knowing that the circus was
coming to town the very next day, and we had
talked about going.
Not the really great big circus, like the big cities
have. Just the little circus comes here 'cause
this is a little bitty town. Well, it did not turn out
to be a happy Sunday for me after all 'cause
nobody showed up to take me to the circus,
like they said they would, and now it would be
gone soon because it could only stay here one
day. I have the ticket with a picture of a big tiger
on it and it says "admit one free" at the top, in
great big red letters. On the yellow part it says
it is "today only" at 6pm, and it is now 7:30pm,
so it is almost over now.
It is not a very pretty sight to look in the mirror
and see someone with a long sad face, red
eyes and almost some tears. I have thought
about the circus everyday and night for a whole
long week and now nobody showed up to go
with me.
As I sit here now, all by myself, feeling rather sad,
I wonder if my 4 year old granddaughter, Chelsey,
feels as hurt as I do about not getting to go to the
circus with her Grandpa, because they forgot to
bring her to my house.

to try and express to mothers and fathers just
how much grandparents can be deeply hurt
when they miss those special times with their
grandchildren.)
