ESPERANZA EN HAVANA CUBA

Havana Cuba. I noticed her on a side street alone except for the cats. She had a beautiful smile. Though I don't know her name, I call her Esperanza, Spanish for hope. She had so little and shared what she had without hesitation, with people like her in this world hope will always exist.
