Bring Them Home, Santa

     Christmas in July in Israel is nigh
     My list of wishes in the Gaza Strip is

     For every hostage priceless, 
     Too many now lifeless

     Grieve for Israel’s fallen married
     Weep for singles yet unburied

Hi Gershon, such sorrowful times we live in. Some fleeting humor helps temporarily. Praying for the good of humankind. Shalom ~

your words reflect deep sorrow and remorse as well as the madness of war. I just want to weep every day when I look at the news. Thanks for sharing your heartfelt feelings. Yellow rose PS read your soup mail & responded

Very sad, indeed! They should not have been taken, should have been released right away, shouldn’t have come home in body bags, should have just a memory of celebration. The mother and her two kids! I can’t imagine! A tragedy that like every other war has hurt both sides…no peace.
