CHILD

I will shelter you with my hairAnd in the air will I seek a balmthat mitigates the pain

And if the fire ragesI will quench it with my tears.

Vivian Pellas

**Poem by Vivian Pellas, which embodies her legacy of love for the burned children of Nicaragua and the world. The poem was engraved on the inaugural plaque of the first burn unit of the Fernando Vélez Paiz Hospital in Managua, 1992.
