She cradled the baby in her arms as she sung a lullaby "Jo, my little Jo."
As the babe's eyes drooped low- gradually falling asleep- she tightened the wool blanket around the small child's form, protecting her from the cold weather.
"Nothing's gonna harm you…"
She smiled gladly as the baby finally fell asleep. She had been up all night; not getting sleep, for her little one wouldn't stop crying. She wished her husband would help her, but she couldn't disturb him- he was resting, tired from work.
"Oi, You crazy wench! You're at it again- singin' in the middle of the night. Off with you! Now, go, go!" the old man batted her away in the dark alley she was staying. She stood up, and covered her child to protect her from the old man.
"Not my child, sir. No- my little Jo… shh… it's alright darling." She cooed to her baby as she walked away.
People who were passing by her were giving her looks of disgusts, but she paid them no attention. They said she was crazy- she wasn't. She just created her own version of reality that was far different from them. They wouldn't understand- never.
