Notes About The Poem

The most innocent, under ceasefire, carry within their being the ability

to help all to relax. We breathe, within their lungs, the path to peace.

Oh how the world needs a stopping of the miliatary ceasefire as well as media flares which said across the airwaves hourly. Thank you for highlighting the issue of the innocent who are thrown into the midst of war w/o thought.

Peace we need it.' I pray for it.' Yet i am told it Only comes through war??? Dear Lord Zion is Not just a name tag.' Its a spritual state..( For flesh and blood will never inherit the Kingdom of God ) and we were & are abused.!!! Mentally if nothing else 2020/2025.) Lies upon lies.' Deception the only offering I see! Come Lord maybe I am not good enough.' Yet Your will be done gladly.'

Some do not want peace, sadly. God hears the cries of those who long for His return. The wicked will be destroyed. Those who love the Lord will get the peace they seek and nothing that we suffer here will be comparable to the blessings received.

Yes! A missionary had a story of a woman who would cry every night because her kids went to bed without food. They took her and her kids in and now they are fed.
