Abbasova, Sebeldzhan

I wish they were here
I wish they were near
I wish it was clear
That my life is here and my cousins are there
Somewhere
Where I cant see them
Cant hear them
Can think of the distance I passed and left them
Russia and America
What a great distance

As I came here there was nothing to hear
My cousins are gone
My dad’s parent…there gone
We separated from them from ever and ever thought oceans and rivers
It not only me whose parents or grandparents
Or cousins are
And others are far away
Still friendships hold on tight forever
Those chains that we created will never be betrayed

My dad tries to keep it together but sometimes
He just breaks down can help it to miss them
But helpless at that second
He wishes he could just. …see them
Nothing else just hear the voices
He has missed for 3 years
I wish the government could feel the sadness of this
And I wish the entire th whole family that we left behind
Would come here …close with us
I have hope that U.S government would change the laws
While my dad still thinks alone
Thinking of them
Thinking of ways to take the thought
Out of his mind
I wish I can make my dream come true
And I know I can make it happen
I want to make my dad and his parents elated
And reunite families over again
