A boy with a yellow shirt
whizzes by pushing a tire
laughter giggles
before he can stop it
children eye the toy
waiting for their turn
*
I have a year old picture
children sit on the porch
sorrow pulls them down
fathers are dead, mothers sick or in prison
the boy with the yellow shirt
whizzes by
I thank God for healing love
Thanks to the A to Z challenge for letting me share a chronicle of a trip, the Acholi people and loved orphans,
