"This is the Promised Land?!" (Barbara Schwarz, OP, of the Sisters of St. Dominic of Amityville, N.Y.)
On the other side
Barbed wire
Refugee camps
Lines for water and food
The kinship kindnesses
Of those in between
The dark realities
Death
Fears
Waiting for a welcome
Hidden in the shadows
Longing simply for a home
And safety for children and families
Are they not our human family?
