I see you
The one who runs from home
Child in arms
I see you
As others rant about their own safety
I see you
As you carry your child through dark forests and hostile countries
I see you
As others give food and rejoice at your safety
I see you
Sitting in detention centres waiting your fate
I see you
Sleeping under the stars
But it is not me that is important in your journey*
You hold the fear, the pain and the total desperation
You hold in arms your future
You watch those stars above you as you fall into an exausted sleep
I hope within you you can imagine a better place
I hope you see safety returning
I pray for your children that they will know peace
*I see you
