No One

no one saw the little girl
sitting quietly by herself
no one asked where her parents were
or asked why she was alone at night
no one noticed she had no shoes
and her clothes were dirty and ripped
no one asked if she was lost
or needed help
no one gave her a blanket
or something to eat
people went by to busy to notice
to rushed to care
over and over people walked by
talking on cell phones
pulling there kids along
more and more she was glanced at
maybe they wondered a little as to why she was there
but then they forgot
that night a storm came to the little town
rain, snow and even some hail
safe in the warmth of their homes
no one remembered the sad little girl
the next morning all over the news
the story of a missing little girl
found dead and alone
seeking people with any news
shocked this had happened
who was to blame
they just thought someone else
would come and take care of her
