Willkommen

I heard a call from a distant land that said,"Willkommen!"
and I understood because of the outstretched hand
that reached for my soul to offer me kindness
I responded to the call from a land of unblemished smiles awe-inspiring friendships, love that boasts no conclusion and warmth that requires no exertion to exist
And in this land…
The fields that stand proudly in the greenness of summer
do stand in the winter of untainted snow
and celebrate a people with great vision, and humility
that is reflected by a will to celebrate my life

"Come," this land invited me…
