Little Girl in Blue

Blue is the color of the sky on a day when clouds don’t cover the world, the color of the sky at recess.

Blue is the color of the Catholic school uniform of the little girl on the playground, the one sliding down that new blue plastic slide.

Blue is the color of the doctors hospital scrubs, blue is the color of the cast put on the little girls arm.

Blue is the color of the crayon she colored with in the waiting room, blue is the color of the waiting room walls.

Pale blue is the color of the tears of the little girl wearing blue, with the blue cast, after she fell off of the blue slide on that day at recess when the sky was so incredibly blue.
