War's Words - 2

Hearts are heavy, burdened By worry and fear, a darkness Coloring thoughts in dread Breaking through hope and joy To leave anxiety and concern Panic about what might come Hearts are scared, apprehensive Wondering what might happen To the world who is being consumed By terror, shadows of gloom Will war bring our fears into reality? Our worries to an actuality? Hearts are aware that the conflict Has gone far beyond our assurance There is catastrophic tragedy Spoken of all through the world Will this trouble condemn everyone? To a battle no one can comprehend? Hearts are nervous, agitated By an alarm that dims the best dream A dread that feels like it is murkier Than the dirtiest, most dismal waters, A dread that is so terrifying…. Will this fight claim lives we know so well? Will war bring an end to our heart’s hopes? Will we reach out to find all we love is gone? Will our hearts know the answer to prayers… Prayers only God can solve or bless… Please pray for His help, His blessing, His grace Pray for the chance to give Him all the praise!

Regina, your thoughts on war, and the questions you bring are touching, the world is rife with refugees in all parts of the world, with heartrending tales of devastation and despair. Only God has the answer as to why? I'm glad for your profound insight... : )
