Poem
First Journey
Read by Marlene
0:00 / 0:55
I'm on my own
The noise and movement all around
Just completes the isolation,
I look to see if I have a label
Am I that small child, alone-?
Being sent to safety-somewhere?
Then reality sets in
I am alone about to take my first journey
Without him by my side.
The train glides noiselessly away
Bearing me
To this new experience
A journey on my own.
The little girl inside says
"I am a woman,
"I will do this"
Live life as it is now;
"I will survive"!
