Photo story

beautiful children

Posted by lawrence on



 I fed you, but forgot to ask your name. I was so shaken by your destitute reality. We tried to clean you but ran out of the meager napkins I had in my pocket midway. Your brother told us your mother would return l, and  I pray that she does.



Though dirt and squalor surround, you are so special and wonderful in my eyes. Do not give up on each other.

    Really like the B&W head shot. There is a lot of feeling and emotion coming over from this image.
