Children of Heaven

Scene 1:
An elderly man takes his time as he mends the large hole that protrudes from the side of a young girl’s pink sandal. It takes effort to push the long needle through the thick fabric. His hands are rough and worn like someone who has worked long and hard their entire life. It’s not long before the small shoe is as good as new.

Scene 2:
The young boy scurried from the room, swung open the front door and galloped down the large stone steps. Ignoring his mother’s requests, the boy whipped down the narrow alleys, determined to find his sister’s shoes.
