“I grew up in Sierra Leone, in a small village where as a boy my imagination was sparked by the oral tradition of storytelling.

“There was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, “Nothing, I just helped him cry.²” “Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth “You owe me” Look what happens with a love like that, It lights the whole sky..”” MenYearsLooksChildrenLittlesSaidWholeLightHappensEarthMotherNextLostBoysSunFourWifeSeeingDoorsSkyCryHe ManNeighborGentlemanSatFour YearsYardsLapElderlyLittle BoysNext Door Neighbors Author:Hafez
