where are your father?

Where are your parents?


“where is your father”
Said the police to the lost little girl
“up”
She replied
“up where up at the house?”
Asked the police man not sure of what to do
“up”
She replied
“can you show me where?”
Asked the police man again
In one small motion the little girl pointed to the sky and replied
“up”
Then at once the police man understood that her father had died
“Where is your mother?”
Asked the police man
“down”
She replied
“can you show me where”
The little girl walked to the side of a cliff and pointed down
The police man looked down to see a blue car smashed into the rocks
“how did you get here?”
With one look to the ground the girl pointed up and then pointed down
She was alone
With none that understood
Not even herself
Because no one ever would
The police man picked her up
Took her to his house
Because he understood
like no one ever could
