Not used to that touch of a hand on her face
that smile and soft kind eyes
there was no evil glare of intent as they hit
her frail body in terror alone
abused for days without food or any drink
to quench or give her strength
to sustain this innocent young persons fear
for her there was no mercy near!
Managed to escape these captors who cruelly
wrenched her away from friends
while out just walking and so happily chatting
lured by men who seemed kind
who offered to buy them all drink to consume
but the others were suspicious
and got away but she sadly was not fortunate
realising the dangers far too late!
Her parents were frantic at receiving the news
a wide search was implemented
every news outlet carried the abduction story
from days into weeks fear grew
all this time the brave girl never gave up hope
her chance came as they slept
weak yet the adrenaline flowed had to get back
courage and determination did not lack!
Shivering so scared was picked up by a police
patrol unit who had been called
by a worried resident who saw her pass by
their house but had walked on
there on a bench she sat eyes full of tears
the police woman showed that
gentle touch that had been so long denied
sitting closely by her side!
Then the voice she knew so well mum was here
united with love that hug so good
the shaking subsided now safe dad and sister to
together in unity alive and snug
never wanting to ever let any of them out of sight
as her arms gripped them so tight!
