Notes About The Poem

The Brave, the Beautiful and Humanity

One little girl knows that she has a forever family waiting for her in America. She has many special needs. She is wanted and prayed for.
To protect her family, I won’t name her but lift up in your prayers. Others that were joined with them in the process: one man killed 2 days into the war, A Pastor’s family with two teens have opted to stay in harms way (the husband and father due to his age had to stay and fight). Our friends had previously traveled to the Ukraine several times to adopt their beloved little girls who are all praying for the Ukraine and their new sister-to-be. 

THE BRAVE, THE BEAUTIFUL AND HUMANITY

Who pays attention to the orphan?
O for the beautiful - a wide net is cast.

Our friends have in their sights
one who many would cast aside
but God sees…oh yes God sees

in compassion and compunction,
and places a child in the arms of love
with other Ukrainian sisters, adopted
by a couple set aside for such work.

Who else gets the job done?
Green Berets braving war
to carry the orphans to Poland.
Send them hither and thither
to safe places, O God of all.

I’m but a writer, but let us see —
let us drive home - humanity.

I'm hearing many stories coming out of Ukraine of those brave people risking their own lives to help others. Putin will pay for his crimes in this world or the next. Tom
