Hospital

In the voice of that one

refugee who knows the worth

of tender loving care.

Love’s loving

Is touching us deep

Nursing us within

Hurting our hurts

Where it hurts us

Making our fountain spurt

Giving us new genesis

She is our peace

Who has broken down every wall

She matters after all

The whole earth is our hospital

Kindness made us a people

Drew a map that has no borders

And placed us on her shoulders.
