Kim Phuc's words..........


Kim Phuc was bombed in her tiny village,Trang Bang, in 1972. Today, she has a foundation for innocent children with any injury due to war. She suffered many years of burn therapy and today speaks of forgiveness.....I cannot forgive this photo and the pain thats so evident in it. But today this is Kim Phuc and I feel she is worthy of praise of her story of survival and forgiveness. Kim's beauty is apparent to me , showing her scars from a war, from a picture thats forever locked in our memories. But this is not that picture, it is Kim Phuc today. She was that tiny girl in Vietnam running for her life, today she is walking the path of peace and forgiveness. Hats off to Kim. Again no word's!

Written by Kim Phuc




I should have died

My skin should have burned off my body

But I'm still beautiful, right?

...Don't see a little girl crying out in fear and pain

See her as crying out for peace
