Refugee

Refugee I am a refugee I don’t want to be I had my land my family my plan I worked at my pace ten hours a day I worked even harder gathering hay Along came a dictator told us to go Stay you die I wanted to fight but how could I This was not just me it was my whole family We walked to the border of my country My heart broken I was in agony All I worked for all my plans taken away You think I want to be here in your country today

I feel so sorry for those people who live in the countries which are not their homelands...How difficult it is to live far away from home without a choice..I am touched deeply.A fave.
