God Bless Them
(The Hague, 15/9/1982)
God bless Nilma,
She understands too much.
It's hard to bear.
God bless Rebecca,
She understands too little.
It makes her cry.
God bless Elise.
She understands nothing,
She's a rainbow child.
Written after the disappointment of learning that we would not be going to live again in Brazil, in spite of the promise made.
