In a pale patched frock
and worn-out boots,
with her hair held by a blue ribbon,
walked a shepherd girl
herding her sheep,
followed by a faithful dog.
Standing atop the hill
staring into the vast space ahead,
wished the shepherd girl
with all her heart:
a better life for her family,
and an adventure for her soul.
Painting by Ratna Pochiraju.
Thank you for allowing me to use it on my blog.
