And so you carriedlife for the world, Mary,as you fled,to protect that very lifefrom threats of death.Joining the world's mass of displaced peopleyou becameRefugee,Alien,Immigrant,Homeless,and settled in a foreign land--the only placeto safely nurtureyour fragile dream.Like so many other womenwho flee violence,clutching their babies,you crossed the border defining youa stranger,dependent on foreign aid, welfareand hand-outs--the charity of others--to feed the Son of God.
