Salam Neighbor Page #4

--

it was humbling

sitting there

on that last day,

--

Being surrounded

by people who have

overcome so many obstacles,

--

But despite everything,

still have hope

--

And generously opened their

homes and hearts to us.

--

We're headed home,

but our friends are not.

--

On average, refugees

are stuck in camps

--

For years.

-- :
,

It would be a tragedy

to lose the potential

of this population...

When they are

the solution,

The ones who will

rebuild syria,

Or will work

to rebuild their lives

In countries

that provide them homes.

This isn't just the story

of the millions fleeing war

Or the neighboring countries

who have welcomed them in.

This is a story

about breaking a cycle

Of distrust and violence,

About creating

understanding.

Because, as neighbors,

How we choose to

respond to this crisis

Will affect all of us.
