 United
    We
Wonder

Janet Kuypers
3/30/19

spending all day
talking about
how people
can be united

I walked to
an American
Indian tent
and I waited

because these
storytellers
were ready
to talk to us

and I realized
then and there
that we all
have stories

about what
has been
taken away
from us

and how we
can keep
what is within
us to share

with all of
the world
so that we
can all grow
