Poetry by Detained Immigrant Youth: “The One”

by Kathryn M. Doan, Esq.

CAIR Coalition staff is often lucky enough to receive the artwork and writings of the individuals we serve. The poem below, “The One,” was written by a 17 year old boy from Ethiopia. This boy is currently living in a shelter facility for unaccompanied immigrant youth and is receiving legal orientation services from CAIR Coalition’s detained immigrant youth program.

 

 

 

The One

In the dark universe Look how beautiful is earth In the dark sky I see beautiful stars with my eye What type of power is that To make all these things with His hand The power is the greatest Like Mount Everest You are everything Now and Forever

CAIR Coalition is currently in need of funding to help us expand the services we provide to immigrant youth throughout Virginia. Please donate!
