Oh Why

The darkness prevails; God's light is dull; oh why I’m afraid to send my kids to school these days Sometimes I just sit alone in my bedroom and cry The darkness prevails; God’s light is dull; oh, why? As I sat in the still quietness, I let out a big sigh He sent his word we didn’t comply nor give praise The darkness prevails; God’s light is dull; oh why I’m afraid to send my kids to school these days Alexis Y. 06-12-2022

A very sad and fear-filled write. The times are trying and indeed we need God’s word to set all on the right path. We need the author of the good book. ~ hugs

Go to the store and buy a rubber door jamb for them to carry with them! My grandmother was a schoolteacher who carried a Winchester 30-30 to school with her every day to protect her students, so life is still a risk and we must learn to adapt! Aloha!
