In the heart of a raped woman
Who, a year later, became a mother,
Despite feeling insecure and profaned,
who shows her honest yet dishonest smile ,
to her now, 6 month old child.
Just so that to show,
what and how beautiful a smile is
and to remember what she lost.
And in that moment,
a hope that has aged more than her life,
was born.
