Welcome to my Country
Paul McGrane
Dear prospective citizen
thank you for your application
a State response will soon be sent
but here’s mine:
I hope this soil will not for long
be foreign to your feet
that my weather
will be your weather
that my cities will offer their freedom
my countryside the right to roam
I’ll be standing in Arrivals
with your name
Paul McGrane is the co-founder of Forest Poets in Walthamstow, and The Poetry Society Membership Manager. He was recently highly commended in the YorkMix Poetry Competition and recently published in South Bank Poetry Magazine.
