Mark 5:9
the children huddling
in basements shaken
by bombs and missiles,
the families walking untold
miles to find sanctuary,
the folks who sleep rough
every night in hidden places,
the lonely who cry themselves
to sleep each and every night,
the broken who long to find
healing which seems elusive,
the vulnerable who are pushed
from one agency to another
without anyone really noticing
their faces, their hands, their hearts
we are indeed
the family called Legion
and we pray beg you, God,
not to send us away
as so many of your children
do
