"Come now sugar, take my hand, it's time to go." "You'll be fine, we're going for a little ride now". The little girl reached up and took ahold of the gray haired lady's hand. Why she wasn't sure,but she knew that she was supposed to.
They walked out into the night and she could feel a light breeze blow a strand of hair across her face. The tears that had streamed down her little face caught the strand of hair and it stuck to her cheek.
"Why was this happening did I do something wrong?'' was the question that rolled through her mind.
She felt cold and scared . She wanted to scream out, to stop this from happening but the words would not escape her lips.
"Here child put your seat belt on". She felt like it was strangling her,keeping her from escaping, keeping her from going home.
The car ride seemed to last forever. The car was quite and she could hear her own heart beating.
"Where are we going"? She asked herself, not able to open her mouth to let the words out. But no answer was given.
The car stopped and all she could see was the outside of a brick building and some lights that shone in the windows.
"What is this place?" "Why am I here"? "Where is my mommy"?
"Come child ," again she felt compelled to take the gray haired ladies hand. Up the stairs, through the door.
"Come child" again the gray haired lady said as she led the little girl up the stairs.
"Put this on" she said.
"Climb on up in this bed and go to sleep now", "Goodnight"....
"What is this place"? "Why am I here?" "Where is my mommy"?
"Why is this happening, did I do something wrong"?
As she drifted off to sleep in her tear soaked pillow.
