Topic: Sprinkled With Hope | |

Naked tree limbs quiver while a tiny town slumbers
Horses' hooves pound the pavement while buggy wheels softly rumble Such peacefulness, both a blessing and a curse For with the gentle hush of nothing comes thoughts of another place Another world sometimes it seems Where weary eyes of young men and wives speak volumes for lips that lie Down those streets there are no buggies, The soft whiny of horses does not come on the hot desert wind Masculine commands ring louder than church bells Combat boot clad feet move quickly with every order The smell of fear and determination hangs heavy in the air How sad this horrid scene Young soldiers in dusty uniforms dream of the comforts of home For some that's all it will ever be again Safe and sound families weep No amount of prayer could ever summon sleep Wretched demonic beings, sneering as they too take a stand Jeering silently “They are just Americans!” Hearts thunder in leaden chests Palms sweat and frightened cries penetrate the night Why must this happen? Such hellish truths should not be seen by young innocent eyes Yet they are And as day gives way to night A young woman holds hope tight Someday we shall laugh in the faces of our heartless assailants Failure will be shoved down lifeless throats And at last... He will come home |
