Welcome Friends

Welcome everyone, to the place where your wishes will be cherished. 

And the sadness that used to blaze ahead will perish. 

You will learn that an alliance. 

Is what will lead to independence. 

You may have been born into a treacherous time. 

But now the scars of childhood will have a chance to be shared- you are divine. 

You learned not to defy. 

You were taught that your future is fried. 

But remember that reality is both ahead and behind. 

And that the strangers you meet today will become friends that are kind.
