3/14/22, “When Words Fail”
When Words Fail……
When words fail
when the feelings are too big
and the message is too strong
and the wounds are too deep
when my love is too wide
to fit into my heart
when the killing
and the chilling
is tearing me apart
when babies are born
wide eyed innocents
to die by morn.
when my dead children
are yours
and yours are mine
when i look into your eyes
i see courage and fear
i see your blood,
my blood
i see sisters and brothers
amid the sounds of terror,
i see you brave.
i see you strong
i see you live
another day
we grieve with you,
we cry for you,
when hate is only ashes,
and bombs
cannot touch your souls
you will live beyond this day
in history
engraved
in our hearts forever
never forgotten
the living symbol
of courage,
love,
and hope.
d.s.

Thank you for expressing our sadness with your compassionate poem. You have a beautiful loving heart. I am leaning on God`s promise “He raises up and He puts down.”
Loving you, Bonnie

Thank you for this wonderful poem, Danielle.
I am leaning on this quote from Romans:
“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:31-39
KJV

p.s. I felt a sense of peace come over me after reading and posting here on your site this morning.
