FRIDAY WRITINGS .The Ukranian situation leaves hearts heavy all over the world, and those who look to a higher power pray for a peaceful ending. My thoughts are with the Ukranian people. Submitted to Poets and Storytellers United, March 11, 2022.
PRAYER FOR PEACE
Broken dreams and fallen heroes
Heartbreaks by the score
People pray for peaceful ending
No more misery anymore
Save the mothers, save the children
As the fathers go to war
People pray for peaceful ending
And no more misery anymore
Strike the evil one from power
Cleanse him to his very core
As people pray for peaceful ending
And no more misery anymore.
Bring wisdom to world leaders
Help them find peace, we implore
People are praying for peaceful ending
And no more misery anymore.
