she kept on trying to calm her child down crossing the floodwaters to reach the shore while she held him high above her head she almost drowned in that raging flow of water
she kept on trying to calm her child down keeping her hopes high for the sake of child to see him live a future she knows is not protected but must give him one at the cost of her own life
This poem is part of my One Final Truth poetry series, which is about climate change.
