Voices Raised In Unison

Strong feelings course through the heart
swelling like the evening tide
How does one begin to start
that peace in heart can reside

To share what breathes its own life
grows from the pain of mankind
How long must there be such strife
while with wars we are resigned

The strong must protect the weak
from the fear that haunts their lives
For a Tyrant we will seek
while hope for true peace resides

Poets o’er the world will share
heartfelt words to ease the pain
To let us know hurt they bear
while innocence they sustain

They take up pen, reach for thought
letting passions fill the vein
From history they’ve been taught
but from that way they refrain

Words of peace in poems they spread
to all who care to listen
With love this path they do tread
voices raised in unison

Startime

(big hugggsssssss) If only everyone can stop and pray, then finally there can be rest in the world and we won't have to keep breathing in hesitation! (sad sigh) I pray with you, dearest friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
