waiting for you

the helping hand

The girls soon grew to love they're new home. Just as they had come to love they're father. One day as the girls were reading in the library Father came in and asked if he could talk to them. They immediately set they're books down and faced father.
"There's a girl named lost love. She lives in a town a few miles away. But her parents threw her out of the house. She won't come to me. But I think she might come to you. Would you mind coming with me?" The girls immediately agreed. And soon were in the car with father. In hopes lap sat a small basket with food. The winding road was soothing and soon both girls were fast asleep. When father woke them they were pulling into the small town. The girls eagerly climbed out of the car and looking around the small town. They soon found they rather disliked the town it smelt and was filthy the once white houses were now a dirty brown. Father pointed down a dark street. "She's staying down there but if you can't find her come back." The girls nodded and headed that way. Soon they found themselves in a cold dark alley that smelt terribly worse than when they got out of the car. "Hello." Faith called. Hoping that lost love could hear her. Hope tugged on her sisters sleeve and pointed to a pile of crates. Out of the crates stared green eyes. Faith walked closer and bent down. "Are you lost love?" The eyes nodded slowly. "Well lost love I'm faith. And this is my sister hope." The girl looked at hope. Then back at faith. "Are you hungry hope asked setting the basket down. The girl scooted closer but the girls could not quite see her yet. Hope handed the little girl a sandwich. The girl ate it quickly. The rest of the small lunch quickly followed. She finally came into the light. They girls were shocked at how young she was. She only looked to be three or four. "We have more food at the house.", Faith offered. The girl quickly agreed and followed them to the car where father was waiting. When father saw them on their way he got out of the car and hugged faith and hope. Then he moved to the little girl. "Hello. You must be lost love." The girl shook her head. "Well how about you come home with us. I'm guessing you're still hungry Right?" And that is how lost love became  found love. The girls loved her dearly as they did each other.
