je m' appelle joice

it has been

a long

long time...

 

since i studied french

so long

that i barely

remember

most words

of the beautiful language

still

like many

my heart fills

with just the mention

of the eiffel tower

the streets of paris

so when word

first

starting spreading

that terrorists

had struck

the city of love

it was hard to

believe

as more details

surfaced

there is no denying

the world is

changing

and for that

i feel helpless

and afraid

scared for my

loved ones

yet we can't let fear

dictate

our every move

so i did what i know best

i took

 to my sewing machine...

 

...creating a circle

using fabric

purple of course

with eiffel towers

to form a dresden

or friendship circle

for in my world

if we all just started

loving a little more

hated a little less

just imagine

the difference

we could make
