She was such an excited child
As I remember her, in absence,
Playing with the sledge;
A gift from me
A kind act that went so wrong
She sped down the slope
Onto the road and under the lorry
I said to her afterwards
Always make a right turn
Before the bottom
And then you will stop
She said, if I did
it was more likely
I would have gone
under the wheel
I said, look along the road
Before you cross
