Thank you, Stranger
Susana Dzhamaladinova
thank you, stranger,
for being close to me
thank you, stranger,
for your help to me.
when my home’s away,
while the sky’s on fire.
when my home’s away
Be close when im crying?
i saw closeness
without borders.
i saw open doors
next to open hearts.
when we dine together
I feel your hearts.
neighbors became family
since they took part.
thank you, dear friend,
for staying close to me.
But every single dawn
I dream of my return.
one day I'll get on a train
home to my Ukraine.
and I'll call my new friends
to have dinner again.
