Like walls, I crumble in still of night fall to my knees and scream out to empty skies as tears fall from my eyes. My heart weeps for the child who does not know that love is more than just four letters and a word that is seldom ever heard. I feel the twinge and twitch of my heart beating as I remember the soldier who stands guard on the wall so that his hopes and dreams won't fall. My spirit is burdened knowing that somewhere a mother lies praying for hope to remain within her sight to know where her child is tonight. Tilting my head to darkened skies I ask these questions of how, and why. Void of the spirit of the season my soul doesn't comprehend all of the reasons. Soon, very soon, it will be Christmas day so tonight, I fall on my knees to pray "tonight Father, I would only ask this of thee.. please.....bless the world with your grace and peace...... {Wherever you are wherever you may be my wish for one and all is that the world finds peace. Happy Holidays to Pip.} sorry about the lack of title, it just wouldn't come to me.... The greatest beauty on earth, is found in the hearts of those who love.... |

A title? Gee, "A Sharing Of Gentle Spirit" came to my mind immediately. Yes, God bless all those and more Donna, but especially the military personnel and their families who have given so much for us. I am honored to be first to read this, it is truly a beautiful prayer.  Let there be peace on earth ~ and let it begin with me |

No titled needed - the peace wished of this piece is well wrought - beautiful, like you Donna - Hugs - Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

darlin, this was more then a jewel of a write...praying will help, but...it is through a lack of education and responsibility of all concerned why these children suffer...the rich ignore the poor and uneducated...leave them to fend for themselves, deeming them as low life...not part of society, and through that concept comes abuse....not to mention, I believe strongly that our society has approved it, by ignoring it....instead of taking these lost souls aside and teaching them, giving them something to take pride in....themselves....lack of education...hence, child abuse.... A very powerful write, evoking much emotion...I'm standing right there with you...feeling the same way...it's not only sad, but dispicable on the part of our society...we watch the news, see it happening, but ignore it...this is what the government should be doing...enforcing laws to the hilt, and setting up agencies to pull these souls out of the pits of real despair...abuse will likely breed abuse. My oh my, when will we learn? |

Up out of the fires of lost confidence in mankind, seems to always rise, a poem in the smoke, such as this one, to save me from incineration ....I come here for reprieve, to read poems such as this... Thank you for writing it... _________ice/ford ><> Come read to me some poem, |

My thanks and best wishes to each of you this holiday season. Ice/Ford, I am touched by your words. I do believe that was one of the best gifts that I will receive this year. There are times when I write something that is so meaningful and close to me that I'm not sure I should even post it. This poem was one of those things.. but then I read a comment like yours and it touches me because it allows me to know that I am not alone in my thoughts and within this lies hope. I have a plaque at home with the saying "where love and peace and hope abide, surely angels dwell inside." I do believe angels reside with you sir, thank you very much. |
