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!
