Mother Of The Emigrant
by Paul McCann
Mother of the emigrant
welcome into your arms
those who suffer homesickness
for the land they have left behind .
Mother of the emigrant
open up the doors of communication
when understanding is hard to find .
Mother of the emigrant
shelter those who feel lost and alone
in a culture they have never seen before .
Mother of the emigrant
bring tolerance to different beliefs
and peace between tribes on every shore .
Mother of the emigrant
protect all those who have come from war torn backgrounds
to begin a new life somewhere .
Mother of the emigrant provide platforms
that embrace multiculturalism for all the world to share .

I can't imagine having to
I can't imagine having to leave the land I've always known...to start a new life in a strange country where I have no idea on how I fit in. Your poem makes you realize how difficult it must be for those that have traveled so far in order to find peace.
A significant poem.
Jenny.
