Run, children, run!
Take note…the Jacaranda trees bloom.
Their showy clusters of pale purple point the way
to tables adorned with vibrant colors –
sunny yellow,
bright orange,
passionate red.
Your laughter sounds like that of any other child.
You swing around a pole to enter Evergreen.
La Doctora makes this your home,
if only for a little while.
Respect, reason, kindness,
compassion, sense and sensibility
dance from room-to-room
Run, children, run!
Her…
hands, hold yours tightly
arms, embrace without question.
ears, listen as if yours is the only voice.
eyes, see your bright future.
La Doctora faces fear with courage;
danger dissipates before her boldness.
She believes…
from madness, peace
from ashes, roses
from the darkness of the barrio, glittering, priceless diamonds
….YOU!
Run, children, run!
