Vagabond Female
I was walking through a street in a center city hub.
My destination was a nearby health club.
I went up to an automated teller to draw some money.
A young woman in worn and dirty clothes came to me.
Until that, it just seemed like an ordinary day.
This rather attractive female had this to say:
“Sir, I am tired and I can use a place to stay.
There are only a few more hours of daylight.
I would like a comfortable place to spend the night.”
Her long blonde hair could have used some shampoo.
Innocence was displayed with her eyes of blue.
This was unexpected, and I did not know what to do.
I responded, “I will see in a couple of hours what I can do.
If you are still around, I may be able to help you.
I am going into the health club across the street.
I hope that I can do something for you when we meet.”
Two or three hours later, this woman was gone.
She may have been helped, or she just moved on.
I wondered what placed her in this situation.
I was hoping she received a good accommodation.
