This just popped into my head, with every avril lavigne song I listened to. So, I just had to write it!
The night was silent. Fernley was a busy town during the day, but at night, it was dark, cold and silent. The bundle in my arms started to wiggle. The slapping of my tennis shoes on the wet pavement were the only noise to be heard. It was a quite calming rhythm. I could see the orphanage building approaching as I held the bundle close to my chest.
When in the parking lot, I scanned the area to be sure no one would see me. I quietly crept to the door and kissed my little baby's cheek. "I love you baby girl." Two words were flashing in my mind. Quietly and gently, I set my precious love down. I have faith in my heart that she'll be a wonderful woman someday.
In a few hours, at day break, Mrs. Potts will wake to get the morning paper, and instead find a baby girl wrapped in a pretty pink blanket. Neatly written on a slip of paper, she will read,"Nina Hope".
Those two words flashed in my head yet again as I kissed her goodbye. Strong Hope.
