Like a new born baby: time flies.

It may be a little stretch to compare my experience in Haiti to having a new child, but the fact remains, it is going by quickly. I am having a wonderful experience in Haiti's capital and feel extremely honoured to be here.

 

My days are filled and then emptied,

busy then free

Plans are made with pencil,

and laughing is required

The flux of life is welcomed,

and becomes the cure for much

Those that cannot adjust,

are bitter, despaired, then gone

 

Friends are necessary again,

and stories rise above the screen

Life ends with every night,

and is given again each morning

The poverty is in your face,

but then again so is art, food, and fun

Time remains a commodity,

but with nothing to buy is spent on others

 

Mesi Haiti pour your gifts,

may I be a gracious guest
