With a threat of war coming closer each day... a repost of a poem I wrote for another war... sad enough nothing has changed... when will we ever learn...


While the child sleeps

Misty dark shadows

banishes love

A chilling sphere

binds

tomorrow's laugh...

Being a mother, this one really hits home. It really doesn't seem fair, does it?

Thank you for sharing....

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Neeraja, this is so very tragic, and I don't want this tragedy to repeat itself, especially when war is so unnecessary the way Bush wants it! (sad sigh) I send angel hugs out to all the children, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Neeraja, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!'

Love,
Noah Eaton

P.S: Please post your poem and speak out your voice with the rest who wish not for war:
