My concern is to give my son
a better future.
I do not want to fail.
I do not want to return.
It would humiliate me.
and also my son.
*
There is so much violence
in my country.
I want a good life for my son.
A safe life.
*
I ask God to know
the desires of my heart.
It is Your will and not mine.
Because my thoughts
are not Your thoughts.
God knows my heart.
God is my strength and my help
to fight to arrive here
to fight to remain.
I have so much fear.
God is my strength.
