Migration<br />

Written by Julia Clemens<br />

UVMLCOM Class of 2022<br />

Stories can transport us<br />

another time<br />

another place<br />

another now<br />

a child, lonely and scared<br />

a parent, afraid for their family<br />

a parent, trying to keep it together<br />

seeking a better future, a better life, a better now<br />

needing open hearts and open arms<br />

not open cages<br />

traumas repeated and reimagined<br />

lives lost and people left behind<br />

only memories remain of home<br />

for some – a new town, a new school, a new language to learn<br />

a new hope<br />

a new perspective found at the end of the page<br />

I will heal<br />

I will give, again<br />
