Isha

Sometimes there's no food
Isha's hunger gnawed
For pies, cake and pop
The African sun
burned hot every day

Endless miles trudged
To find the well
Queueing with friends
Laughing out loud

Rain swept in
Yearly flood
Devoured

Red Cross
Rescued

Her

Isha goes to school
A land far away
From where she was born
With her family
Rehomed in a house

Advantages
She luckily
is achieving

There is food
plentiful
to sustain

Happy
Isha
