Train stations crowded
Families leave all behind
Waiting…singing hymns
***
Women and children board train
Husbands sent back to front line
***
Train pulls out…tears flow
Lives hanging in the balance
Husbands take a stand
***
Explosions and destruction
Children cry for their fathers
***
Hope reigns in death
Roth Poetry 
In time of darkness us when the light (of hope and peace) shines brightest.
I continue to pray. For peace
And for the light to reach the darkness within some dark souls.
Thanks, Dwight. xo

šššš¢šš I admire you expressing so poignantly about this unspeakable horror, and appreciate your words because it helps me begin to acknowledge it mentally and emotionally. I’m sure it is helpful to others too.

Thank you, Morag! It is easy to hear and just go on with life as usual, without feeling what is happening. For them it is very real and devastating!

We feel the heartbreak of our Father. And we fall to our knees. We are so small, but our God is mighty!
