The Lost Boy

One day, I was wandering down the road.
Just idly wandering, when I suddenly stopped.
Right in front of a beautiful park
The gate was open, so in I walked
Walking down the path, just idly looking.
Then I noticed a little boy
Who seemed to be searching for his toy
Wanting to help him, I went forward
But seeing a stranger, he became scared
Searching in my pockets, I found a candy
Seeing the candy, he became friendly
He had come with his sister, he said.
She tripped and fell and out came blood
Her scraped knee she had gone to wash
And this little fellow had wandered off.
Playing, he had not realised the passage of time,
Now it was dark and he was lost.
He just had his sister’s purse in his hand
From the purse, we found her mobile number
From my mobile, I then called her
She came quickly, happy to find him safe
Thanking me profusely, their way home they made.
And I too returned home very glad
Having ended the day in such a fine way.
