<\/div>\n

I came to a little cafe
\nOn a typical Friday morning
\nI saw a little girl
\nSitting on a chair across me<\/p>\n

I asked her where is her Mummy
\nAnd she pointed towards me.<\/p>\n

Horrified, I ran into a little alley
\nI came to a dead end
\nAnd she was there,
\nstanding and pointing at me.<\/p>\n

I collapsed from shock
\nand blanked out
\nInto a deep sleep
\nSomewhere else.<\/p>\n

In my dream, I was a little girl
\nI saw my Mummy.
\nI ran towards her, but she disappeared
\nBefore I could touch her.<\/p>\n

“Mummy, Mummy, wake up!”
\nThe little girl shoke my body awake.<\/p>\n

I looked at her closely
\nand realised she is the younger me.<\/p>\n

“Mummy is here.” <\/strong>
\nI hugged her tightly.
