It's an intractable problem. There seems no solution. The format of the Minute poem is just right for expressing your feelings about it, with the short sharp lines being so evocative.

I so agree with your poem and the picture. Imaging actually asking your child to live you so that they can have a better life. That goes against every instinct as a parent. I wish I had answers.

    Thanks so much, jusylee, I appreciate your kind comments and generous review. Yes, it would be an impossible situation - you want to keep them close to protect, but when there is no protection... how heartbreaking. Warmest regards, Marijke :o)

What a great job of writing this plea for help. So many of our children in this world are in grave danger. I love the picture, it's so powerful. Have a great day and God bless.
