Refuge

She was leaving home to a safer place
With her three year old boy who knows nothing
He was very young and still playing
They wanted to run away, live, some where safe
Her partner tried to kill them, not once or twice
No options but to flee, too scared to die
She couldn’t carry their bags, four in numbers
Too heavy for a mother and her boy   

She asked for my help, I was scared to help   
Never met her in the past, I’m new here   
Busy at work, no time for a trouble
She told me her story, I was then convinced   
They have to live, they are too young to die   
As the train was leaving, she told in my ears 
“There are few good folks in the world, like you” 
I did nothing, but helped my neighbour  

My Lord will give you peace, I wished them   
No one can grant you peace but my Lord God   
She just smiled, as she had no Lord in her life   
I was not joking dear, you will soon know, I said.
For most of them, it’s funny to believe in God
My Lord will give them peace, truth, light and way   
Life for the rest of their time in this world
They have to live, they are too young to die !!
