My Trip of Tears
We made the hard decision
To leave our country.
And
All our family.
I could not stop crying
On my long trip
From Honduras
For I missed my family.
I mourned for them in my heart.
We walked
More
Than
Ten
Days.
*
Then I found a man
He accompanied us.
He brought us to a lady at Chiapas.
She gave us food.
She gave me a bath.
She said she would protect us.
We slept in a bed that night.
Thanks to God we were finally able to sleep.
*
We followed her directions
The next day
We slept in a park.
Without food.
My son said to me,
“I am hungry.”
I had nothing to give him.
No food.
*
God put another man in our pathWho guided us.
And helped us.
Thanks to God.
*
We arrived at a house
to ask for food.
A good couple gave us food.
Already it had been ten days since
We left my house.
Sleeping in the park.
Or in the mountains.
But God never left us.
*
I ask God for
Continued blessings
For
this
refugee.
