PRAYER FOR PEACE

 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.
