The Way They Held Eachother

A woman and her young daughter were destitute

and traveling to another country

where they hoped to find

a new life.




Three men stole them while they were camping.




They were brought to a city

and sold as slaves; each to a different

owner.





They were given one minute more together,

before their fates became unknown.




My soul clings to God like that,

the way they held

each other.
