Handsome Faces

 
They come from eastern climes  
dress in heavy clothes  
dark shades and to the ground,  
speak in broken English  
try and do their best,  
improving with each day.  
Would learn more and faster  
if we would speak to them,  
handsome faces to sparkle  
Loneliness less real  
whatever they left behind.  
children in their arms.
dreams,longings,hope.
brought with them  
days now too long,  
nights too short.
