The other day my sister introduced me to a website which brings attention to the trials and tribulations of the people in Haiti. It's a rescue center there that helps children who suffer from malnutrition, burns, and many other unfortunate events. Reading through the stories of each suffering child was bittersweet, as it was both painful and inspirational. The people who run the place must be truly amazing. It is comforting to me to know that there are people out there like that, and it moves me to want to be a better person.

Baby Biruk
I think of you
You baby boy
Your dark eyes
Are lit with joy
Your love of life
Your handsome smile
On a bad day
It could last a while
You'll dance to the music
Sing to the song
Never thought I'd be so lucky
Guess I was wrong
I could eat you up
Hold you forever
The bond we have
Could never sever
With a grin on your face
I laid you to sleep
Not a scream or a fuss
Not even a peep
I hope you dream
Of wild wings
Shooting stars
And pretty things
I don't know how
But you're a light to me
Every little look
Always gets to me
I say good-bye
I'll see you soon
Can't wait to hear
You hum your tune
Turning Two . . . and Three
