By the door
The wall stands
Covered with the grit and soil of many a harsh day
It holds back fear and joy alike,
Coated in the dust of a thousand raging storms.
The wall stands
With the streaks of thousands of tears inspired by fears and loneliness.
What will it take to bring down the wall
How will we break the yet unbroken
Become one, united in care for our fellow travelers
Hearing their pain and giving comfort, sharing ours and receiving succor
Reaching out to listen to the stranger’s tale
Let us pray.the wall falls
That divides, that holds our pain, that keeps in our empathy and compassion
