One step, she giggles,
Two steps, she laughs
Eyes bright
Eyelashes meticulous
Energy flowing
Hello she says, then runs away
She comes back, teases, skips away
Joy, Peace, Laughter, Play
The world rages
A life not chosen
Peace deserved yet denied
She grows, pure in a disrupted existence
She laughs, soul innocent
Yara is every child
Born in unwanted conflict
Humanity needs to rise and give Yara peace
