Target
Child of humanity
Son of Wanderers
Descendant of immigrants
Resident

Always aspiring leader
Target

Singer

Believer
Outsider
Target
Seeker of understanding
Advocate for freedom
Facilitator of dialogue
Hopeful bridge-builder
Sometimes-rejected Justice-seeker
Target
Child of Abraham and Sarah
Crosser of the sea
Standing in Sinai’s shadow
Sitting at the feet of sages
Member of a sacred community
That persists even still
And provides enough solace and strength
So that “target”
Will not describe or define me
Or my companions
On this journey
Now
Or ever.
