Shelter


Alone and hurt, crying in the night I came..

you held me in your arms and let me sob..

the warmth and love I felt, the refuge I found...

my sisters understood and I slept safe, healing my wounds in dignity and peace..

A small garden where flowers bloom and the cement walkway with the imprints...

of other mothers and children's hands before me ...

A safe home away from pain, where I can start my life again...
