You're Not Welcomed

Wave of emotions Flood my being I can only imagine The door being closed in my face I have no place to go Ripped from my family's grasps No warning Waiting on the other side is my freedom You're not welcomed here is what the sign reads A melting pot? The land of the free? Innocent not doing anything wrong You have helped make America great Your only sin is what you believe in It could have been me The feeling of traveling abroad and coming home To be turned away Or you are coming to see a sick loved one I am sorry but you're not welcomed I watched as the elderly man wept His tears ran down his cheek and he said I am a good person Why? We stand with him in solidarity and can't explain The only thing we can all do now is pray Pray for the families separated Pray for peace Pray for they know not what they do!!! Blessings, Patricia A.
