I just like the name!
The White Sunday
the childrens' Sunday
unheard of
and still celebrated
a river of children
in white frocks
singing
reciting
trying to act
all eyes welling up
at this gathering
of angels
she tells me
and her face
is happiness
it is pride
and love
then she takes an extra blanket
and covers up
the frightened young girl
on the verandah.
Stay here til the morning
she says
you are safe.
Her heart aching.
