Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Hope Lies In Her Cry

My wife Irina's from Ukraine
  Right now her heart is filled with pain
From cries of distant friends who fear
  The End of Days may well be near

I hold her hand as she sheds tears
  as Hope can all but disappear...
It's then she cries, "O, Awesome One
  Salvation bring! Your Kingdom come!"

Anselmo Boles February 27, 2022 at 1:05 PM I can understand your wife Irina's grief Gershon, I have friends who are Ukrainians and right now I feel so helpless, because I can't do anything to ease their pain....ab Gershon Wolf February 27, 2022 at 6:36 PM Interesting. My wife feels as you do, Anselmo - utterly helpless. It's a sinking feeling.

Rico Leffanta February 27, 2022 at 10:30 AM A cellphone will be no comfort to her, so stay by her side. Aloha! Gershon Wolf February 27, 2022 at 6:35 PM You're right, Rico. She needs lots of TLC now.

Tom Cunningham February 27, 2022 at 1:07 AM A sad day for humanity Gershon, why do we allow these madmen to thrive. Tom Gershon Wolf February 27, 2022 at 6:33 PM Perhaps we're just all yellow underneath.
