An excerpt from Sara LaWalls prayer this past Sunday: How can I celebrate being one of the lucky ones With lapel pins of sequins, pasta necklaces and hand crafted cards Made by the loving five year old and eight year old hands? My child was not stolen from school Or ripped away from homes Used as a tactic of revolution On this mother’s day I grieve with the mothers of the world Whose children have disappeared I wail with the mothers of Nigeria Who wait and wonder in agony Praying for their the safe return of their daughters 276 of them — 276 too many And we know elsewhere in the world More mothers grieve their missing children For them we whisper a silent, “We are with you” We, too, carry your pain and outrage We, alone, cannot fix this horror But together we can be sure the world and your government does not forget And we can hold you in our hearts and minds and prayers
