Mother and Son Re-Unite

MOTHER AND SON RE-UNITE I was phoned by an old friend Blessing, Who told me that her one and only son, Who was once reported missing, Has been found after a decade lying in sweltering sun. In his pre school years or somewhere there about, She left him in care of elderly nurse in white, In the trust she did not doubt, On returning, the nurse and the boy were all out of sight! The news that the hospital did not employ that nurse, Send in my friend’s heart, a terrible fright! When the nurse and the boy’s descriptions were finally broadcast, Brought in the inside of the nurse, the worse! As the law net finally closed, the nurse deserted him in broad day light, Her heart beating very fast, she outran the police in the ever-whirling dust!
