Please Help Me

by Jeannie House

Mommy, Mommy
Where are you? I’m so scared
They said you had to leave
They said you would be back
Please hurry I’m scared
There are others like me
crying, tired, and afraid and feel alone
I said to a lady please
Can you help find my Mommy?
I promise to be good and not cry anymore
You see she loves and cares for me.
Hold my hand and we will see,
but there are so many
Looking for their Mommy’s
