Jenny Linsel Poet Rhyme

We Stand Together

We Stand Together

Our thoughts are with the bereaved
We must understand their pain
We all think that we are safe
But vigilance we must attain

It shouldn't take an act of violence
For us to care for one another
We should cherish every day
With mother, father, sister,brother

Lives were lost and people injured
Due to a senseless act
This is the ugly face of life
Not fantasy but fact

We must all band together
And help in any way we can
They are someone's flesh and blood
Our kindred fellow man

Keep Manchester in your prayers
Each and every night
Pray also for other parts of the world
Who have suffered the same plight

Jan Allison May 24, 2017 at 4:59 PM Absolutely beautiful sentiment Jenny - I am still struggling to come to terms with this latest atrocity - the image of that 8 year old who died will always be with me as she looks like the child of someone I know:-( my thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families . :-(:-( hugs Jan xx
