Across The Border

A young couple in love,
Travelling across the border,
Soaking up glorious sunset's,
Embracing their future hopes and dreams.

A victim of domestic violence,
Fleeing across the border,
Hoping for a life free from fear,
Desperate to give her children a better life.

Soilders serving their country,
Destruction across the border,
Bravely willing to sacrifice their lives,
Wondering will they ever see their families again.

A group of girl friends,
Shopping across the border,
Browsing the delightful displays,
Searching for that purchace to return home with.

A long awaited family reunion,
Unconditional love across the border,
Every moment together treasured,
Happy and fulfilling memories that last forever.

Abundance of families in despair,
Taking inhumane risks across the border,
To reach a safer place of uncertainty,
Praying to make it alive, mourning those who don't.

People from all directions,
Seeking opportunity across the border,
Each experience differs greatly,
Dependant on the opportunity one seeks...
