You had been living your entire life on your feet
Never able to feel safe
Never given a chance to settle down
Always running for safe harbours
Just to be held in prisons
Never knowing for how long you would be kept
Never knowing when you would be forced to leave
But somehow the days found their way
And you were told
"I've created a way
If you want to you could come with me"
So you ran
Through the fence and over the field
Through night, through day
Then decided to hide
For a second time
When I think of that summer day
Of how you were taken away
My tears are tears of grief and awe
We should have brought ourselves to be your mainstay
But instead you were ours
You kept strong through the day
But in your mind echoed one desperate thought:
Drag my roots out of the mud
And plant them in steady grounds
