Not a Dry Eye

Canada has welcomed refugees by a plane load A dry eye was not observed as compassion flowed Poor unfortunate folks Such sadness it evokes Forced to leave everything to travel a new road © Jack Ellison 2015

Were any refugees 20 year old single males? Do you have restrictions on who can come? Just asking. I, Dragon, and Grandpa Troll hope all those refugees find good homes. Have a good Christmas. Warm, cozy, and full of the Christmas spirit... From Hubby, Carol, + the Menagerie. PS. My adopted son Casey is 1/2 American + 1/2 Turkish. We brought his Sunnie Muslim Mom to live with us for a year to help her. Casey will go to Iraq or Afghanistan when he gets back from S.Korea. Army infantry... I'll be worrying...

I can't begin to imagine the trauma these poor people have fled from Jack - may they find peace and security wherever they settle:-) hugs Jan xx

This old man couldn't stop the flow... so sad they are forced to leave everything they've known, so happy to be welcomed here and to start a new life!!!
