In this tender month of April, Grant me the moment to entreat. For within this season’s embrace, Memories abundantly flow. A path through trials, battles faced anew, Life’s tapestry woven, by pain and strength tried. ♦ In ’94, hell engulfed Rwanda, The land of a thousand hills that once gleamed with light. Rolling hills and…
