Beautiful …
eyes that belie the innocent face
eyes that are far too aware
eyes that remember a painful past
and beg for some hope to share.
Wary
Bewildered
She waits to see
what we’ll bring. Just a box? Just a toy?
Or can we offer a more priceless gift … ?
a future …
and hope …
and joy …

The plight of these people, and others like them, move me every time I recall their courage and beauty.
