“Reflections on 1:1”

A random thought crosses my mind.
What if this was my future?
Torn away from family and friends;
Trapped in a world I’d die to escape.

I see my past in this young child.
Fear, wishing it would all end…
but my future is peaceful
because of my family’s prayers.

As I sit and watch this young one,
I see so much of myself.  I hid
my feelings from everyone and
only expressed them in poetry.

I hope this young one
finds a healthy outlet
for all her emotions.
I truly hope she can find one.
