Prayer For All Refugees

In Waddecar woods Where the wild garlics flower And the bluebell choirs Echo their arias. I come for peace To the same pool In which are poured all streams of faith Shall we not kneel upon the grass To contemplate And issue a prayer together, Each in our own tongues and according to our beliefs For those displaced By famine and by war? And pray for the safety of those Who dare the perilous seas For the sake of themselves and their families. We have a duty of care Let our hands and our hearts Reach out to grant them Refuge and hope for their futures.
