SICK DAY
She could not go out and play.
In bed, she needed to stay.
That's what her mother did say.
Her mother was not home.
She was alone.
But, she would be checking in by phone.
She needed to stay all day.
This was not going her way.
She could not see her friends.
This had no end
She could not play with toys.
She had no joy
She remembered what her mother did say.
She thought that staying home from school would be cool.
But, there were all these rules.
In her bed, the thought. Should she have done this?
She thought not.
