Tell me why...

"Why wasn't it important...to let me know why?.. I wanted my mum...each night I would cry... Why was I here?...what did I do wrong?... I wanted to go home....that's where I belong... Fazakerley cottage homes...a place for children in care... ...but I've got a mother, and little brother...so why was I there?... I saw many young children...each with a sad blank face... I felt so alone... in that awful dark place... There wasn't a day...that I felt happy inside... I just wanted my mum...under bed covers I cried... Why didn't anyone tell me...to ease my young mind... ..but to leave me not knowing...was cruel, and unkind... Now recalling many years later...I often have a tear in my eye... ...and I still can't understand....that nobody told me why."
