Separated from My Father

First, I give thanks to God

For allowing me to be in this place.

To spend Christmas in the United States.

We shared much together here.

They gave us pretty gifts.

It was incredible!

It was a fun Christmas.

*

But it also was a sad Christmas.

We were separated from my father.

He is not with us.

Immigration separated us at the border.

I struggle to get through each day.

I miss my father.

I ask for us to be together

Quickly.

*

In the New Year

I want to be with my father.

I do not want to be separated.

I feel sad apart from my father.

I ask for the first opportunity to be together.

Soon.

I want to be with him.

Together.

As a family.

This is the only thing I ask for

In the New Year.
