Oh!
Dear hear,
Me, I cry.
Of pain, of hurt.
Of sorrow in tight
Look around you and see
Our world in chaos and fear
Oblivion dawned unto me then
I beg; love unconditionally
Peace begins where selfless love is planted.
P.S.
If we can only love unconditionally….then maybe…just maybe…things would be different…
Our world would be better.
We continue to pray for all those who were killed and injured during the Manchester bombing, the Marawi attack, and to all those who have been victims of violent acts recently.

It’s a wonderful thought Michnavs. I hate that despite that some of us are determined to love and fight for the good, there are always those who are evil and fight for their terrible causes. Sometimes there are those whose hearts of turned cold, to stone and those are the bad guys that prevent such enlightening thought.
Beautiful poem 🙂

If you have no trouble opening my site you can ignore this message.
I messed up my site link. I made a little change and got in big trouble.
My old site (deleted, that’s why you can’t find me anymore)
My new site is The Shower of Blessings (the “s” is in different place, so is the link)
The new link is https://theshowerofblessings.wordpress.com
