I Pray For My Country

I know nothing is perfect
I know everyday is not always a happy day
I know we've gone too far
Letting ourselves drowned into despair

We used to care less
thinking the world is just a living place
Some  of us have gone too far
letting themselves digging golds, rapping the earth

these days the earth showed its anger
I feel scared, I feel sad,how can this happened
even though i'm save here but what about others
I see tears, terrified faces just thousands of miles away

children cried thinking that this is the end of the world
Mothers cried, some of their children swept away by the ocean wave
Fathers cried, the house that they build are thorned apart by the mountain eruption
I cried, It could have been us...

now all i can do is pray for my country
i pray things will turn okay, we all can moving on
I pray we can change our lives how to live in peace
keep the faith, don't give up hope 
I'm here with you with my prayers for you

Smile ~ "Precious & Lovely, Mony Reyna, I Love This Soulfully Painted Poe; So 'Very Beautiful!!!'" ~ Sometimes when one is blessed amid viewing, they can feel the soul of the poet or poetess amid their verse; this is where I find "Your Beauties;" such a wonderful experience my dear; keep brushing from this treasures trove &, "Prayer" is the greatest gift which one can offer so, "Keep Offering The World 'Such Gold!!!'" ~ ....Cont:)
