Ad
A nation’s flame
A nation’s flame
dimmed to the mere
light of a candle.
A soldier’s heart
crumbled like the ground
beneath his feet.
A church’s prayers
deeper and strong.
A child’s mind
scared and uncalmed.
Ad
A mother’s heart
strong and protective.
Families torn apart.
Our Lord’s eyes wet with tears.
