Began
Hammurabi
Thirty eight centuries
of war. Hanging Gardens
of Babylon, One of Seven
Wonders of time.Baghdad, Tigris
and Euphrates valleys
now filled with fire
and steel.

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

(big hugggsssssssss) They call the region between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers the "cradle of civilization", seems war has always been an import here and Babylon is all repeating itself again! (sad sigh) I pray all the innocent can escape this crazy war and be safe, God Bless You, I pray on and on, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ken, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
