When it happens near –
but not near enough for us
to see or hear it –
I see my friend’s tears –
I hear the knot in her throat –
So what will I do?
Writing brings me peace,
but I like to think reading
will bring you some too.
Safe in Aurora –
There is NO immigrant threat –
So where have they gone?
I knew a cashier –
We used to speak every day –
I should know her name.
They’re stolen people –
Stalked by masked strangers, taken –
That’s persecution.
“But the Advocate…
will teach [us]… and remind [us]…
Peace” is left with us ~
John 14:26–27 (NIV)
