Let us make our own map of this unknown land In words of a 'foreign' tongue With time we will learn. Let us grow our own roots and become seedlings Grasping what is different and new Until it becomes familiar to us. Let us ignore the comments made About how we should not be here This land belongs to the earth and not to the people. Let us allow the ocean to wash away our fears as we cross it We will not drown in this situation We will thrive.
