WelcomeA Poem by Hans LillegardWelcome Even
the poor pensioner In
a lonely small apartment has A
thin and knuckly hand That’s
sometimes held. Mental
illness sinks in victims like Earthquakes
crack the concrete but Somewhere
deep inside Grace
grants peace. Only
in abandoned basements Might
men weep for Succor
and find Simple Abundant Solace. Even
in weakness, with space to heat Rice
and beans for food There
are open arms and hugs and There
is welcome. Hans Lillegard © 2016 Hans Lillegard |
