Welcome

Waiting long enough to hear.

Every day
We decide
Who and what
We will welcome
Into our hearts,
What and who we will allow
In.
Sometimes it takes
Longer than a day.
Sometimes
It takes one particular word
We could never
Have predicted,
A word we won’t know
Until it is said
Out loud,
And we stay in one place
Long enough
To hear it.
Every day we decide
And then
We decide again.
