On this Christmas somewhere in Texas, another small child
is locked away
crying, wailing,
wondering
if she will ever see her Mommy again.
Is this America?
She wonders
and begins to cry again
into the empty air.
Note: This was very much on my heart. May we always remember the poor and those unable to protect themselves.

Merry Christmas Nico!
Merry Christmas to you and yours! Peace, and wonderful blessings!
This is not the America I know and love–it is the reality right now–and I believe we are at a tipping point to bring back love and compassion for the less fortunate. Merry Christmas to you and your family, I so enjoy your posts.
Yes Nico we will remember them and pray for them always! God bless you and your family!
Thank you Christy! Yes hopefully this will all change soon! Peace and great blessings to you and your family.
Thank you for this reminder – to be grateful for what we have, and to also never forget those who are facing challenging times (and each do our part – however great or small – to do something about it!). God bless!
Thank you Takami! Yes exactly! Peace and be wonderfully blessed.
So awful.
Yes, and the conditions are awful. As you know they are at risk because of a lack of good medical care. May God forgive us. The whole thing shows that we are not as progressive as we pretend to be. Peace Cindy. Let’s hope changes come soon.
