Title: Sorry

Sorry by Deanne Daffy. Apology to the stolen generations hand print

Comments:

For generations you have suffered, your babies taken away. Tears flow, pain aches in my heart for all you went through. I can't even imagine. Your children ripped from your arms…given to strangers. Today our government said sorry. Though it may not be much... I'm so very sorry too.
