Saying goodbye is never easy,
Last-minute hugs, tears, love whispered uneasily.
Saying goodbye when leaving forever,
Losing a country and heritage built up through generations.
Trying to tuck every scrap of remembrance in our hearts.
To console us on sad or terrifying days.
Wishing and praying for the kindness of strangers to ease our path,
Through unfamiliar new customs and regulations not like our own.
Praying to return one day to the land of our birth,
Or to take root in this land, now our new home.
