Baby Girl



In this piece of wood
A young woman
Strong
Brave
Long gone
Still
Here
A woman
No family
Small village
Fire struck
War begins
No survivors
Only this child
A baby girl
She took the little one
RAN
Without food
Without water
Burning
Her feet
Wouldn't stop running
Baby in her arms
Something familiar
BABY, no family
She needs a better life
Baby Girl
Better life
North air fills her lungs
Throwing her hands in the air
Praying
Thanking the Lord
Strength
He's given her
She believed
Fate
Hiding this child
She was to raise the child as her own
She gave her the name
Precious
This story
Her legend
Caries
This woman with a child
In her arms
The whole way through
