I WAS TAKEN FROM MY MOTHER
By:Chelsea Cruz and Gerda Wiessmann Klein
I was taken from my mother
thrown and shoved
He looked at me and he said how old, I said 18
glancing at his eyes
He said you are to young to die
A tear dropped down from my eye
We were loaded in a truck
missing my mothers sweet soft touch
I took my mothers voice and she said be strong
Seeing her precence go further and further
It was a journey
I was taken from my mother.
