Description
“Poem for the Ukrainian Child”
The child lost
Reaches for her mother
Longing for calm
In a war-torn world
Inside the crowded bus
Taking her away
To a safer place
Knowing that
She will never again
Feel the warm comfort
Of her mother’s hand
Or find that calming place
Her heart longs for
By her mother’s side
In her war-torn world
— C. Stover 2002
