The sun set to settle, after a bright afternoon.
The little girl happily walked to the valley.
Money was heavily jingling in her pocket,
As she hopped to her favorite alley.
She paused to breathe and looked around her.
The lights and smells had always made her ponder.
How delightful, was this big, active street!
She thought her mind would never stop to wonder.
'Hello Mr. Candy, how are you today?
I'll have my usual - Candy in the May.'
'Sorry little girl, forgive me today;
All the valley children have taken yours away.'
A little disheartened, she again looked around.
Hoping to hear, what would seem, an inviting sound.
'Hello Mr. Ice Cream, how are you today?
I'll have my usual - Very Very Wow.'
'Sorry little girl, I'm in a rish today;
My child had taken ill, and is calling for me now.'
A little sadder, she again looked around.
Her eyes brightened up, at what she found.
'Hello Mr. Cake Shop, how are you today?
I'll have a nice, cream, cup-cake.'
'Sorry little girl, but with the coins you show;
I can give you nothing you see on the row.'
The little girl started for home, completely heartbroken,
As she jingled sadly what she had got from home to spend.
Again, she looked around, hoping to give the sadness away,
But only an empty street called out to her, with nobody to lend.
(Wrote this very randomly. Think of this as a little girl's perception of the world when she was heartbroken.)

Wonderfully depicted, ( I was rather hoping to see the lil girl eating something at the end, so was not at all prepared for the sadder ending. :P )
Whoa.
Hidden talents or is it the exams?
As Tim said, I can feel what you want to portray. :D
