Something new, something wondrous,
something never seen before,
for once you stepped right from the flames,
you had no clue what was in store.
As a Deshi, you're but a seed
who has yet to grow,
the path you walk may overwhelm
and there is much you may not know.

But as with any rebirth,
it is a new chance to start,
don't let fear overtake you,
and fight with all your heart.
For we may not bend space and time
and we may not always win,
the first step is always the longest yard,
but don't be afraid to begin.

We all come from different stores,
whether of joy or of neglect,
but with competence comes dilligence,
and with unity comes respect.
Betwixt Between, Neither here nor there,
some answers may not be clear,
but there's always those to aid you,
and show you in which way to steer.

Because the ties that bind are the ties that hold.
The ties that hold are the ties that grow.
Whenever hopelessness permeates you,
whenever you have no direction to go.
A family in its own right,
we welcome you in our embrace,
for it is guidance you found in our arms,
and for you, have found a place.


Penned by my hand on the 22nd of Glacian, in the year 572 AF.
