The Let- Down
How to explain
To a little child
And say sorry
For not being there
When it mattered most
“But you promised”
She rehearsed
Of how she’ll scream
When before her presence
You stand
“Oh dear, oh dear”
You mutter
As you dash across the hall
Going against the crowd
But it’s too late
As she stands alone
In the Centre
Of an empty stage
