My dear friend Katie was able to visit "K" in Haiti today. In an effort to describe my thoughts based on what I know of their brief time together, I wrote this poem.
On This Good Day
Expectant at the door she'd wait
Swinging wide was an open gate
On this good day, for this one girl
Running out with laughter spilling
Love came in, for her soul's filling
On this good day, for this one girl
Longing eyes on jubilant face
Given hope of a future place
On this good day, for this one girl
Gripping baby doll and blanket
No one is allowed to take it
On this good day, for this one girl
Soft spoken voice says hard goodbyes
Love hopes now not to weep and cry
On this good day, for this one girl
Petite in frame she lays to rest
Our pictures held against her chest
On this good day, for this one girl
Love, love was dispatched over sea
Delivered too, a little peace
On this good day, for this one girl
