If I Had a Wand

Sadness overcomes me
From all this suffering I see
If I had a wand to hold,
I’d wave it to erase all the cold
By cold I mean the evil ‘rule’
Taking over, a reality so cruel!
The big picture is completely seen…
Its spreading grip is so mean
 -Today, I hear my childhood friend lost husband, brother and mother in two weeks – 
As the ongoing roller coaster of death peaks!
Only with faith can we withstand all this
Only simple things in God’s creation and love will bring bliss
Hold that shield against the fear
Fight the evil far and near
Because I tell you – it is here!
We must face it and in unity, adhere
