She put her face , up against the tree ,
where others could see, promised not to peek.
Fought back her tears -
they had made her seek.
She knew what happened next,
began to count,
clenching her eyes shut,
hoping they would be found.
She tried hard to listen,
strained her ears for any sound.
A giggle perhaps, a muffled whisper,
just to know they were around.
In the silence she heard,
faster, she began to count.
She knew they were gone,
wished they could be found.
They left her alone, against that tree,
hiding, waiting for her to turn around.
For her to seek;
they would never be found.
