My trip began
Saturday, August 16th
I came with my daughter.
El Salvador is our home.
*
We spent one night in Guatemala.
We slept.
We left the next afternoon
to begin the long walk
to the borderlands.
*
I came with good friends
another mother making the journey.
It’s a shame because
we became separated.
I felt very sad.
*
We arrived to Monterrey.
We stayed one night.
We arrived in Reynosa.
We stayed one night and one day.
Then we walked to the gate
to cross the border.
*
Now we are here.
All is good
Because
We have food.
*
My daughter goes to school.
I am sad when she is at school.
But she is happy.
I give her a little kiss
and wait to see her
when school is over.
*
This is the story of my trip from Guatemala.
to safety
in the United States.
