    Like Child's Chalk on the Sidewalk

     Dare not look ahead, It overwhelms me
    As the pretty picture I painted fades away,
    Like child's chalk on the sidewalk

    Nothing remains, Just the dreams and pain
    Good times never remain
    Like child's chalk on the sidewalk

    I can not stay
    It makes me too sad to play
    We are like child's chalk on the sidewalk

    We are good when there's sun
    When it rains, we are washed away
    Like child's chalk on the sidewalk

    i find this poem fasinating. i like the repetitive use of the line, "like child's chalk on the sidewalk" it gave the poem a nice, attached feeling in the end. very simple but full of meaning. i enjoyed this. thanks~
