Notes About The Poem

 

 

WELCOME HOME

I wish we were all blessed 
when someone comes into our country…
to our door…
from wherever they may have roamed…
the first thing we say to them is
how was your journey…
and the second…
welcome home.

I would like to believe in a 'welcoming' attitude but also believe in knowing one's intention for coming to this country. I don't 'welcome' intended violence and chaos.
