Leaving a familiar place is difficult, but something many people need to do. Looking at the sacrifice made by the migrants crossing the southern border, a move from the mountains to the plains does not compare. I have just finished a book, the Emigrants, telling a story of Norwegians moving from a beautiful mountain country with poor soil to the flat land of North Dakota, serving the winter in sod huts. Somehow they survived.

To those who brave the unknown, hats off, we raise,
In search of better days and brighter ways.
Across vast oceans, under starry sheen,
To lands unseen, where they have never been.
They leave behind the old, familiar sights,
For promise of warm days and peaceful nights.
With hope in heart, and dreams in their suitcase,
They journey forth to find their rightful place.
Their courage, like a beacon, shines so bright,
Guiding them through the darkest, stormy night.
In every step, in every breath they take,
A new path for their future, they do make.
So here's to them, the brave, the strong, the free,
Lovely words, and even better thoughts because they create peace in your mind and heart, and that is the goal!!
