The ragged girl

It happened so quickly 

She knew so badly she wanted to go

To experience the thrill of the plane taking off

No one told her not to

Once she got there it hit her

She was the ragged girl

The girl who everyone frowned upon

She missed her own yet no one knew

They joined her soon after, how could they not?

From then on and even today when she looks years back, she was still the special ragged girl

Maybe it's better she left when she did,
Saying goodbye to the home she loved with those she loved would've been too hard to fathom.

Oh for that plane ride! What that child was willing to do!
