The Walk

Giant man-made puppet in Manchester walks the walk with a story to tell - - -

Mother child

torn apart

refugee girl

tears harden

survival calls

caring people

kindness guides

desperate hostile

horrendous journey

human love

waits anxiously

heartache yearns

reunited hope

keeps walking

never stopping.
