Peace Is Possible

24 February marks 1 year of conflict between the Ukraine and Russia. May moral guidance, good sense, faith in the future and God's grace, mercy and wisdom bless and guide these great nations, and all other nations in conflict situations. Peace is possible. Miracles happen all the time. Blessings, love and light. 

Peace is possible 
By Michelle Morris
21/02/2023

It's been a year
Since the war started
Between the Ukraine and Russia
A year of loss and destruction
A year of political minefields
A year of fear and sorrow and death

No celebration is in order
No peace appears on the horizon
Only hope and faith in the hearts
Of millions that this will end
Soon...
Yesterday!

What is it that drives men
To put their beloved nations
At risk?
Over and over again?
What is it that causes us to
Look away?
Over and over again?

It's been a year
Since the war started
Between the Ukraine and Russia 
And yet all signs point to this day
Being a mere milestone
In the continued conflict

Peace seems like an impossible dream
Yet miracles are possible
Miracles happen all the time
The impossible becomes possible
When we apply our hearts and minds

Peace is possible
In our time

Anything is possible with God, in time we come to realize, He is our own hope for the future, I pray it ends soon
