Poem of the weekThe Grief of War
REMEMBER those who died in war,
The hopes and dreams of those who fell;
And grieving ones they left behind,
Far more than I could ever tell.
Oh, heavy hearts that heard the news;
The dreaded news they always feared;
Of loved ones never to return,
Who died upon the battlefield.
Great God, we were not made for this-
To suffer pain, and grief and woe;
Our lives are brief enough for sure,
And war we need to overthrow.
Sompting.
