Calling Out To All Nations

Freedom is a precious thing
taken for granted every day
terrorism fought with wars
consequences come what may.

Children dying in the street
amidst the young and old
lifeless forms no longer breathe
bodies turning blue and cold.

Senseless acts of violence
spread thoughout the land
countries coming together
standing hand in hand.


It's time to conquer the madness
the power needs to be unleashed
this call goes out to all nations
to say a united  prayer for peace.



{In rememberance of all they gave....may we never forget..}


GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Chuckling to myself and wondering how I could have missed that.......I was just thinking about 9-11........didn't even realize it was flag day!!
*D~ stares at the ground kicking her foot wondering how dumb she can be.....geez....

I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance~~(Garth)

Beautiful write .....

This is a great poem, Donna....
9/11 or Flagday.....no matter, it was still beautiful...
and besides 9/11 and Flagday are really cousins in an oddball sort of way.

~ hugs for lovely writing
