Silencing All Whispers

A breed of decency
exists before our eyes.
Courage beyond fear
shameless enough to cry.

World aching in sadness,
as terrorism toils.
Men dressed in honor
pace polluted soils.

They blink in unison,
as bullets pass by.
Caves of harmony
cease existence and die.

Continuous praying
for loved ones safe return.
Keeps families in touch
with deep rooted concern.

Tomorrow calls us forth,
as brothers and sisters.
A united cause
silencing all whispers.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Ria, this is so very true, sweet friend, my heart goes out to all the world and I pray soon all this insanity can end and we can make a peaceful approach rather than have to rest on the leaders agenda! (sad sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ria, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

You spoke of the unsettling fear that surrounds us all.  Thanks for driving the message home and silencing the whispers.

We're in this together and we must dig deep inside ourselves and keep our faith safe.
