A J'can Child
By J.S. Ramkissoon
Though I am your daughter
I haven’t allowed you to embrace me
I am very, very worried
For I’m afraid you’ll reject me
I am your daughter
Longing to be on your shores
But will you receive me ?
Of that I am unsure
Still, I am your daughter
Residing overseas
Often wondering: “Should I return -
Would you accept me?”
