Beyond the Surface, Immigrants
Beyond the surface: immigrants
Watching them from afar;
those immigrants in our land,
images flicker in my mind.
Their courage and dream to fulfill;
as they strive to earn their living.
More than a century has passed,
since European immigration flourished in the land.
Now, with the Hispanics, Asians and
other cultures to cite
run wide and deep in American life.
Grateful as ever for the gift of life,
being able to partake of God's grace;
Increasingly, combined with potential assistance
to those who're deprived and wounded in their lives.
While public media get saturated,
with the ebbs and flows
with the ups and downs,
permeated with fear.
Seen like a sublime refrain with deeper meanings;
allow me to ponder on being with Him,
my love and Glorious King.
