A reflection on my daughter's recent trip to Rwanda College went on a journey of a lifetime. They journeyed to an orphanage to teach and work with the children there; they themselves experienced much more. The children opened their eyes to life; the true meaning of love, simplicity, in the midst of poverty a great need. God Bless the children of Rwanda

She is living out her dream
Reaching for higher things
Not chasing riches or gold
She is a loving young soul
It started with a whisper
This quiet yearning within
A true loving inner-vision
Love Rwanda
From paradise to poverty
Overabundance to misery
Landfills of sculls and bones
This land they call home
Love Rwanda
Love the simplicity they live in
Sincerity - yet so poor and alone
Painful memories opened eyes
Of inhumanity and genocide
Hundreds of thousands died
Now they walk side by side
Love Rwanda
Alone in the land they call home
Absent of wealth - without greed
Loving children smiling tenderly
Their tiny hands and giant hearts
Beaming eyes extending lovingly
Children, teaching about Mission
Love Rwanda
Love Rwanda
