Rosie is gone

Run down and dried out

The story of that little girl

The one that was left

To die out…

 

Rosie her name

Pink her cheeks

And her skin pale

Hide and seek,

Her favourite game

 

Friday was the day

She was last seen

Walking in the rain

Her father was away

And her mom stuck on a train

 

An hour she stood

Outside the school

Until the Heavens

Decided to pour

 

 

She run under a tree

The storm to flee

She sat on the mud

She was crying; sad

Cold and wet as a duck

 

Rosie her name was

And it wasn’t her fault

The thunders stroke loud

She was freaked enough to shout;

You see it’s worse when you are sitting out.

 

She stumbled and fell

She thought she was in Hell

She pushed herself up

It hurt, she had a bloody leg

 

Rosie got up

She dropped her bag

She left it on the floor

And struggled to walk

She hobbled to school

By the road she stood

Waited for her mum

As long as she could

 

This story does not end

My dearest friend

You see,

Rosie with the pinky cheeks

Her parents still seek

She wasn’t by the road

As she was told

And she wasn’t under the tree

Or playing hide and seek

You see,

No one knows what’s done

But

Rosie’s gone!
