Poem: A sense of belonging

Poem on refugees

Arriving un-named

Unaccounted for

Learning to survive

To be chameleon

Adopt the colour

of the situation

Imbibe a culture in a place

I must call ‘home’

A sense of belonging

But could it last?

A ‘parentage’ that would not

let me down –

Friends in Kendal will be taking part in a civic interfaith event on 15 November. The theme of the gathering, ‘Belonging’, was prompted by a concern over refugees seeking safety, particularly children, and the situation in Calais.
