Distant Hope

Distant Hope Ukraines blue and yellow flag For its azure skies and wheat laden fields Colours of freedom and hope And gratitude for what the land yields Those same blue skies now shrouded in darkness Lives torn apart, destruction all around Tall sunflowers left to dwindle and die As evil tentacles reach out and abound Women and children flee as bombs rain down Husbands, fathers, sons stay to fight Brave men led by their fearless leader The enemy forges on with all its might But Ukraines resolve and spirit lives on Determination etched in their hearts They will not give up their land easily They will fight till the enemy departs As the world watches on holding its breath We pray that they continue to resist Those that try to destroy their souls And wish them to no longer exist We hope and pray that victory will be theirs We wish there was more we could do To help Ukraine overcome adversity And return to the life they once knew 3/7/2022
