Safe Haven

 

Safe haven, swaddled baby on her back

Lies in wait, a newborn whose turn is fate,

A dependable stranger’s hand, saved: sack

Tossed over and into garbage with hate.

 

Safe haven, for Heaven’s sake, seventy

Two hours; save your life from haunted hell,

Seek the shelter where there’s no enmity

And give the babe a life to live and tell.
