 * We are Here **

The men, women and children gather round. The booming voice of our leader is the only sound I sit afar bracing myself against the cold “God will always watch and protect us”, I was told I listened and watched as the others stared And the eyes of the man lit up - his nose flared I thought, “I am forever devoted to the man above” “I don’t need material things, only Him and love” Others question our ability to succeed here They remained – they are stagnated with fear The risk - Following us gives them a terrible chill others fear is why now we are the city on the hill
