mama’s busy with the farm
rain blocked the way
we jump life’s puddles
we cross them together
today on my back
tomorrow holding hands
The Acholi are hard working and determined people. The women will work the farm during the day, clean up , then carry their produce to market each evening. The young girls sweetly care for their siblings even those still in diapers. What determination we see in those so young. So proud of the kindness of children.
Are you doing the A to Z challenge? Are you determined to finish strong?
We are near to the halfway mark – bravo.

So beautiful are your words Moon that I want to keep saying them again and again: LOVE these lines today:
“we jump life’s puddles….today on my back…tomorrow holding hands.”
Thank you for sharing.

Children like these who have nothing compared to the children in our society yet they can be happy jumping puddles and looking after each other. Such inspiration!

Your words and the lovely picture go to show that kids such of these are probably more content than ours despite not having all the trappings we take for granted.
