Lindsey’s rebuilding one bedroom at a time
letting kids who’ve had everything taken
dream up the space they’ll dream in next
then granting wish after wish
she hustles after what they’re missing most:
geodes, succulents, a zebra with a bow
she posts the lists, rallies the donors, pulls it together
then bam a kid opens a door to a brand new room
it’s easy to say things are just things
when you’ve still got all your things about you
but sometimes things are symbols or substitutes
standing in for people you’ve lost or days you loved
no, it won’t fill all the gaps, undo all the terror
but it is starting over with a bang
knowing so many care what you love
and wish you sweet dreams again
