She came home today,
tiny and perfect,
wearing the outfit
I wore on my first
adventure.
Her parents drove
carefully
to avoid the riots
that promised
to make her world
a better one.
Isn’t that what
we all want?
For our children to be
safe and healthy?
For peace on earth
to be more than just
on Christmas?
She came home today,
so small and pink
new to this world
that is changing.
