My hand is connecting to a stranger's soul.
Her smile reflected towards me.
My heart caught her light.
After all, her soul was like a child.
Her gifts brought me strength and happiness.
My smiles reached toward her and my words reveal "thanks."
"Mom, can I adopt her?" the little girl said.
My life was like Sara Crewe's only I had a different take.
