THOUGHTS and FEELINGS


Mommy mommy, why are we going to America?
So we can be free and have a good life.
Why do we want to have a good life mommy?


We are going to make it our new home
I like it here mommy, I don't want to leave
We will make our new home just like it is here


I don't want to go to America mommy
I know my child, but only for a little while
We will be with all our friends and relatives


We are going to be with your big brothers
and they will bring honor to our family
When mommy?  Soon my child, soon.....
