Array ( [sid] => 30032 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Christmas in War Time [time] => 2003-12-23 10:17:47 [hometext] => [bodytext] =>

Wild explosions roar and sad it is
In so many grief-stricken a home,
Where people grieve and mourn and deeply miss
Loved ones and life turned so wearisome.

War is raging and young blood is spilled,
And fierce fighting takes its fearful course-
Overseas are fine young soldiers killed
For the evil fiend knows no remorse.

“Each of you is unique unto me,-
Precious,- whether sleeping or awake-
Says the Lord,- and I hear every plea,
None is lost, and none will I forsake”

"Friends of yours I keep close to my heart,
And your loved ones are so safe in me,
From my love they can no more depart-
Nor by harm and ill detached from me"

Christ Child comforts:” Do not be down-cast,
All your loved ones have a safe abode,
For my father’s mansions are so vast
Each of them a gleaming star in God.”

In so many grief-stricken a home,
Where people grieve and mourn and deeply miss
Loved ones and life turned so wearisome.

And fierce fighting takes its fearful course-

For the evil fiend knows no remorse.

None is lost, and none will I forsake”

"Friends of yours I keep close to my heart,

A reminder that war is never pleasant. Everyone it touches it seems to leave devastation.

DEAR ED
What a wondrous uplighting poem for this time of the year....there will always be wars and rumors of wars he said...'tis part of this old world that I came and I led!
Heartbreaking for Mothers, Fathers, and young wives....please stop the fighting....help save lives...instead of destroying them.
Beautiful Poetry you compose ED....I stand in line just waiting to read them.
