I see an invisible psychological wall
Separating hearts of love in a family
As the young integrate with the Swedish
sending new roots in their new environs
While the old show reluctance to change
Clinging to habits that are hard to die
I am determined to crash that wall soon
Not with bulldozers or other machinery
But with the power of love and peace
