We left Honduras
to seek a new life.
Starting over
for a better future.
I have nothing left.
They took everything.
My daughter is 12 years old.
*
On the journey
we passed places
with fear and trembling.
I had so much fear
but
I heard the voice of God
in my head
telling me
“Do not be afraid.”
*
We left my mother home alone.
May God take care of her.
I do not want my mother taken from me.
I ask for the opportunity to work.
To pay for her doctors.
To pay for her medicines.
To pay for her transportation
to join us here.
Quickly.
*
Bless the people who helped us
to arrive safely here.
Bless the ones who help us
in this land.
Permit me to go quickly to my love
and to be able to bring my daughter.
Quickly.
