Small and tall
Girls and boys
Dirty feet and polished shoes
Torn dresses and Western tees
Very talented and simply trying…
In song and dance and practiced skits
They are one…
One in feeling the effects
Of both genocide and HIV
One in needing to be children
And forget it all a while…
One in welcoming us
with too much gratitude
For we are the lucky ones
to have them in our too small lives.
Thank you, children of AMAHORO!
