I left my homeland because
My husband beat me.
He would say he loved me
But
He only wanted to abuse me.

The trip to the U.S. was very difficult.
The worst part was
the hielera (the cooler).
That hurt very much.

My son asked me to leave there.
It was very cold.
But, all I could do was
Hug my pretty son
and tell him
“I love you.”
