Years had passed
Without a doubt
No card to create
No call to make
Mother is one
Mine is not here
But in my heart
She is allays near
I cried
I prayed
I hoped
I lost
One part of me
When she left…

Homeless
Walking the streets day and night
Begging for food
Searching for job
Looking for shelter
I found
Some leftovers
No opportunities
Close doors
I wondered
Who am I?
Where is my place?
To sleep tonight!

What kind of night do we have?
Planet earth prepares!

Mystery frogs
Jumping frogs
Over a blue raincoat
In the evening
Making children joy
(Hour Fourteen- Maritza M. Mejia)
Blue Moon
The moon had a cloudy night,
Refused to smile, and even shine,
Lonely and sad remained
Until a closer star invited her to chant,
The moon realized something new, in a cloudy sky,
Its light was always bright.
(Thirteen hour – Maritza M. Mejia)
