Refugee Week got off to a good start in Calderdale this morning with a launch organised solely by experts with experience. In case you have not heard of ‘experts with experience’ before it covers asylum seekers and refugees.
Among the many contributions were a poem by Hina:
We are not Alone,
We can not walk alone,
Hold my hand love, hold it tight.
Smile with me love , smile it bright
Let us all walk together on the journey towards love and kindness, A journey where we can not walk alone. A walk were we can never be sadden, a walk of dreams my Love ! A walk towards better future, a walk to remember.,
Hold my hand love, hold it tight, let us all dream big Love, let us all be together and hug tight,
Hold my hand love , hold it tight, let us all walk my love, let us all walk towards a beautiful life more dignified,
And believe my words love ! something made me and Us believe in change ,
Caught in a wild storm of hot and truthful rain.
As we are not alone. We cannot walk alone my Love. Hold my hand love ! Hold it tight.
