The Longings of a Mother

My longing is to go to the U.S.

to gather all my children together

to have a better future.

I want them to have an education

so when I am no longer alive

they can defend themselves.

And also my grandchildren.

I want them to have a happy life

without violence.

I do not want them to suffer

they way that I have suffered.

I want them to have better protection

more opportunities.

I want them to trust in God who is

their Guardian.
