This poem is the second in a series of poems written by detained youth served by CAIR Coalition. This poem, "Father," was written by a 17 year old boy from Honduras. This boy is currently living in a shelter facility for unaccompanied immigrant youth and is receiving legal orientation services from CAIR Coalition’s detained immigrant youth program. We are grateful to him for sharing his art with us.
