Ela's hands


(To Ela)


Today I saw the pictures

your hands deformed at birth and crudely fixed my Ela...

Alone in an orphanage since little, different and stared at

with your special hands trying to hold the ball, the doll the spoon

My eyes got teary and I felt more than ever that I will help you little Ela

and soon you will be safe in mama's arms
