I remember my Dad saying once
don't worry son the wars are done
now I tuck my baby into sleep
I hit my knees to pray and weep
Oh God please
I thought the wars were gone and done

I think a lot of people feel the same way Chris.

It is a pity that these terrorist acts continue.

Where and when will it all end....

Well said...
Hugs and kiss that baby for me.

Christopher~
Sadly for us all ... the wars will never be done~

You've expressed a parental emotion that is real to us all~
Bless be~

A very thoughtful write Chris.  War is a part of our past and present.  But if all the people of the world would practise tolerance and respect for human rights war might not be part of our future.

believe in what your heart feels...

Chris, I think that we all best "hit" our knees and pray.

I pray ~ and weep ~ along side you.

Peace, Love, Light, & Harmony,

Yep, I know exactly how you feel. A good time to have the passports at the ready, 'ya know?

Good work on this.
