Hope
She packed all that she could
she carried the kids
placed them in the van
drove for miles and miles
slept under overpasses
in reststops
every mile she gained
she felt free
her soul was singing
her heart racing
she was crying from fear,
from joy
from relief
She made it
she was not a statistic
her children were safe
she was finally free
This poem is about:
My family
My community
My country
Our world
