Art made during ‘Christmas VBS’ inside an immigrant family detention center. Christmas was very sad
Because
It was my first Christmas
Away from my mother
Away from my extended family.
*
I give thanks
For one more year of life.
I give thanks always
For looking after my family.
For looking after my friends.
For looking after my son.
*
I ask in the New Year
Blessings for my family.
Your help to complete my goals.
Your help to realize my dreams.
*
God, I ask you to look after
My mother
My son
My aunts and uncles
My siblings.
