The Best Poem Of Mines Yours

Lillian, Ugandan Girl

I never saw her,
Only her words
Perfectly formed in ink on the paper.

'Lillian.'
I say it softly so that no-one but me can hear.
She tells me of Uganda, of her life.

She asked me once,
'What do you fear most? '
I prayed for her that night.

While she shivers, half a world away.
Lillian, my friend.
Ugandan Girl.
