Innocent By-stander

She stood ….at the window… pressing her finger tips against the pane

Skating down the street pavement… was a dog walking a man.
She grinned……sipping, happily,… the funny things in life
Soon after, a mother… hurriedly dragging her two year old to the pedestrian crossing…then slapped the toddler on his bottom… for crying
He threw himself to the ground and… shouted for his Dad!
She squirmed …‘How sad’

Obliquely opposite her position, painted a scene:
A man… gripped the head of his girlfriend,..planted a kiss on her
forehead and
spat in her face!
Then shouted “Get out of this place!”

The girl at the window pressing her damp fingers against the glass

She sobbed… only to hear…the turn of the door knob
Carla swung around and ran… to the open hands set before her
Without question warmth of affection,… stirred abundantly through her

Her Dad pulled the window and… leaned his head also
She stared
She smiled………nothing was a mess
She smiled…whilst viewing… the bird’s nest
She smiled…this sweet…
little child
