The Peace offering
He was one of those children
who had an angry stare and a
runny nose
no one wanted to sit next to him,
and
He was used to fighting for
everything
Being at school
And being nine
and having no one to sit next to
is a lonely place to be
He was used to fighting for everything
He had been in another fight
He knee was scraped
And his jumper was dirty
And his nose...
...was running
As she came to him, he got ready
to fight again
She sat down, passed him a hanky,
and said
'Peace
Offering'
