The Wave


There she stands cradling her child
begging for food or money.
Little child, bushy hair wild,
smiles with those eyes like honey.
When his hands his mother holds,
he joyfully hangs and clings.
The mischief ticks and unfolds-
like a pendulum he swings.
But as I pass looking grave-
mother nods, little boy waves.
