Her hair blew over her eyes
When I saw her standing besides
She bought a balloon and smiled so gladly
Hugged her father and played madly
She kept her clutch firm to it
She adorned its every bit
On the see saw on the swing
She held it firm on everything
Not for a second did her smile fade
With that balloon her day was made
I saw her running here and there
This made me wonder of its flair
She bought candies she ate an ice cream
That gave her eyes a deep gleam
She showed it to her mother and laughed aloud
She flattered it to everyone in that crowd
I saw her moving between her parents
Shopping something from the tents
Suddenly they stooped and her eyes were calm
I saw her clinging to her father’s arm
He took a note from his pocket
Put it into a broken basket
That was helped by a young lad
In rugged clothes who was clad
This girl I saw looked at him
Asked her father about something
He took the note and went ahead
The girl followed to his shed
With a smile she gave her balloon
And a fistful of candies from her pantaloons
He took it with a broad smile
Same that she had before a while
This little angel at the fair
Taught me a great lesson in care …
