I held a Sudanese hand
it fit so small in mine
I caught a ragged smile
I wished I had more time
We sang a song of praise
they dance with all their might
their mamas and their papas
they lost them in war’s night
fortitude and strength
the littlest they stand
hope, faith, love
we grasp another’s hand
*****
smiles radiate
reach our hands to the sun
Peace on Earth
One of the villages we have worked in has built homes and adopted So. Sudanese orphans. Love is being poured into hearts and the children are doing so well. We would love to see peace in So. Sudan so that families are not displaced and children are not orphaned.
Poets United has a wonderful community and this midweek prompt is Peace on Earth
