Mines Yours - Lillian, Ugandan Girl

I never saw her, <br />Only her words <br />Perfectly formed in ink on the paper. <br /> <br />'Lillian.' <br />I say it softly so that no-one but me can hear. <br />She tells me of Uganda, of her life. <br /> <br />She asked me once, <br />'What do you fear most? ' <br />I prayed for her that night. <br /> <br />Me, guiltily living free <br />While she shivers, half a world away. <br />Lillian, my friend. <br />Ugandan Girl.<br /><br />Mines Yours<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem..../lillian-ugandan-gir
