THE REFUGEE
poem by:
Cecilia Crasto
Written
on Aug 31, 2016
With hope in his heart he crosses the seas Arriving in a country of a million dreams He has been given a second chance Embraced with love and open arms He can walk his pace at an easy stride And never run from bullets and knives He has a story he needs to tell Of horrors endured his escape from hell The land he hailed from was ridden with vice Living each day at the edge of a knife In his mind's eye he'll forever see The faces of those who couldn't flee Mothers carrying babies that didn't cry The babies were dead women's eyes were dry A genuine refugee setting out to find A life of peace leaving violence behind.

A really well written poem about the plight of so many refugees.
And I agree they all have a story to tell.

Thoughtful poem.....genuine refugees should be welcomed into every country....with open arms..........it must be hell on Earth, not being able to escape mans atrocities.....to fellow man..
