Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Sharing Now

Mother and daughter walking through

The rain forest, a sunny day,

It is a time and place these two

Do treasure in a special way.

Both are descended from slaves brought

To Suriname, their lives to be

In brutal oppressive onslaught.

Whites gave blacks no humanity.

Mother picks up a piece of fruit,

Ripened and fallen from above,

And gives her daughter in pursuit

Of sharing now their treasured love.

Mother and daughter sharing how

They believe in hope and faith now.
