Crosses

Crosses stand in silent rows
Stretching across sun-drenched fields.
White faces reflecting sun’s morning bright
And shadow moon’s quiet light.
Thousands rest in peace
Their lives given for peace.

No more guns
No more whistling shells
No more shouts of fear
No more thundering sounds
No more flying bullets 
No more cries of pain

Only peace
Is here now

And the silent shout to 
War no more

Love . . . 
That is the answer

Only love
