Sandy

by shantavia   Mar 22, 2008


I went to the park one day,and i was feeling very depressed. there was a woman sitting across from me and i didnt like how she was dressed. her clothes were raggedy, dirty and worn; her shoes were holy, ripped and torn. she looked at me and said "hello, my name is sandy. i'll turn your frown upside down with a dance" then she danced for me. at first i wished she was a t.v. so i could turn the dial. i tried to close my eyes, but, after a while, the more sandy danced, the more i smiled. and so it came to pass that whenever i felt blue , i would visit the park to hear sandy say "i have a dance for you" well, i went to the park on a day that i was feeling especially sad, and there was a sad little girl sitting on the bench who said "are you looking for sandy? she died two days ago. she died on this spot she called her dance floor. she would open up her eyes just to see people smile but she couldnt hold them open any more" i looked up to the clouds and i sworn that i could see sandy. she had on shiny shoes,and a golden dress, she was dancing and she had her own band. and as i looked up, i felt so proud. i said in my heart what i never said out loud; thank you, my friend. and i danced. and the little girl smiled.
