A little ghostly girl stands in front of you.
So small and frail it seems untrue.
No more than the age of 4,
Her wails you can stand no more.
Crying "Where are you mummy?"
In her hands she holds a dummy.
Her mother lost in eternity,
She was in a holy fraternity.
But alas, her daughter is lost,
Their two paths never crossed.
"Come back mummy please!"
You fall to your knees.
You're crying for the poor girl.
She has eyes that light up like pearls,
You hold out your hand to her
and walk her through the silver blur.
Ahead she can see her mummy,
She clutches tighter to her dummy.
"Mummy!!" She screams.
Her smile just beams.
So happy to finally see,
Her mummy, now finally free.
Resting in peace finally together,
now she is gone like the wisp of a feather.
The last thing you remember is her face of glee,
Finally with the mother she thought never to see.
You feel to at ease knowing you helped a lost one,
Your final good deed of the day is now done.
