Journeys and Homes — Victory Low

One boy was taken by force without warning,
One girl crept in fear through a foreign land,
One Traveler sought a brother in the desert north,
All the while yearning for the forest.

One kitten given away would not eat,
A gift who did not delight in the giving.
One Dreamer is about to find in Dreams
A layer beneath a layer

Some kids go through Nakama World
Without ever seeing more than a playland
Some go through it as a course,
a learning experience.

And then there are those kids
Those who find that it could be more
So very, very much more
