A Target

Grown up now, demons eradicated, Live abroad amongst all races, Found your niche, No longer a dart-board. “Love conquers all”.

Evelyn Nolan Dowling, address with editor Showers of love as my siblings and I Fought to take care of you. A neighbour calls you n **** r. Darts in our hearts when you ask Could you wear a long-sleeved shirt? As your skin darkens with the sun. School was difficult too, A butt for pupils’ mockery, We could not shield you always. Brought home from the orphanage, Sat in a buggy, You turn to inspect us. Eighteen months old, small for your age, Brown frightened eyes, curly black hair, Light chocolate skin, timid, quiet, Check coat with velvet collar.
