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!" ________________________________ Irina is my wife's name. She was born in Kharkiv Ukraine and lived there 37 years.

I have friends who used to live there; they are marvelous people. I remind people daily - these are people, people!

I feel the pain in your poem. :-( Putin is an absolute monster! My heart felt thoughts travel out to your wife and you and all the people in Ukraine.

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

Interesting. My wife feels as you do, Anselmo - utterly helpless. It's a sinking feeling.

A cellphone will be no comfort to her, so stay by her side. Aloha!
