Little Red-haired Girl by Bill Schott
    He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not Contest Winner 


Your memory still finds me,
even as decades fall between us;
long, orange hair that feels like love
frames your speckled cheeks and chin.

We share my sandwich at school,
for you have no lunch to eat;
never a lunch, but always hungry.

One day you stay at home.
You are sick...
still sick...
still sick all summer.

You are my first love.
I know it from the loss I still feel
after sixty years.
