I first thought of making
the journey
September 2015
Four months ago.
*
My courage is why I am here.
It too courage
to leave my grandparents
to leave my mother
to leave my brothers and sisters.
I knew I was embarking on
a difficult trip.
Long and dangerous.
*
It was very difficult
giving birth to my daughter
n the mountains
along the journey.
Danger was everywhere.
*
It took courage
to spend Christmas
alone.
Without my family.
locked up.
Far from home.
*
I left my country
because of delinquency.
I want to give my daughter
a better future
beside my father
her grandfather
in the U.S.A.
*
My brother is here.My niece is here.
I want to be surrounded
by people
who love us
very much.
