she cried
Even the thought that
A mother would send their child off to a
New life, suggests something dismal afloat
She cried, there were three
One gone, the second pray watch over his brother
Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras
These are the three
Bound to be on the buses
This is my land, of milk and honey
Giving a shout out about the Trinity
She cried, ‘we have a right
To protect ourselves’
Illegal, alien children in my sleepy town
It’s been shoved down our throat
Even the thought that
A mother would send their child off
Suggests something dismal afloat.

on The blue dish broke tonight from @alidzain
"This is a good piece. Thanks for sharing. I spent many nights, caring for mother. After a hard day's work I'll look after her, watching her sleep soundly brings me peace. Hearing her words spoken softly is such a bliss…" -

About Me
About me
This is my first year as a school librarian. For 20+ years previously I was a fifth-grade classroom teacher. I started writing poetry when my mother passed away in 2000.
I look forward to reading the poems here, and hope to post something soon for your remarks and criticism.
