Heal This World



My Heavenly Father
I come to You tonight on bended knee
My heart is heavy with the burden
of what I daily see

This has always been
the land of plenty
Yet it seems so many pockets
are now totally empty

So much pain
So much sorrow
So many astray
Will we have tomorrow

But what worries me
more than all of this
is the anger I sense
between Brother and Sis

It seems we have become a world
of it's my way or the highway
There is no compromise
How did we all so badly stray

It seems this world
has badly regressed
Back to a place
of fear and oppressed

Where did it all go
so terribly wrong
how did we let our weakness
gain power over our strong

What happened to the values
of Family, Country and You
Where did we lose it all
What can we now do

To stand and not salute our flag
words of You are all but banned
What happened to taking
our sister's and brother's hand

I pray tonight it's not to late
to reach across sea and land
to join brother to brother
hand in hand in a united stand

Is it too late... Have we gone to far
Is it possible for each boy and girl
to again live in peace and love as one
I ask You to please heal this world

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For Our Children 

In Your Precious Name I Pray
Amen

Oh Donna!

If you ever had a doubt that, your writing had left you, this proves you wrong. So very beautiful and all so true. It is nice to read fresh and brand new from you. Maybe it has just taken us time to be able to move beyond starlit doors. We did not leave ourselves there. You have so touched me with this. Brovo my friend! Bravo.

Hugs,
Just Me

Beautiful...If only...but then, this is all part of what was told would be. And the healing WILL come, but only after we have been through the fire. First must come the fire....

I read this over again, and as Lesa said a year ago......if you had ANY doubts about your writing, or your ability, this proves that you still have it

I love how you write of being on bended knee. You write such clean and uplifting poetry and with this, I able to see that this world isn't full of all the sickness I have journeyed through. I needed to read your words of inspiration at this time and thanks for sharing!

just great faithful words, you may like a poem of mine called "leaving on the light" i posted a few days ago, i don't have the formatting skills to produce anything this pretty but the ideals represented are very much in sync with your prayer here, great stuff.

Wonderful prayer, I love the picture
Nicely penned as always
The problems in the world always seem to work them selves out
We can only hope for the return of the good life
If we all would be honest with one and other it would help
Trust in anothers word is all but gone, sad

Donna a very well written poem, and it holds so much truth.
We are in very bad shape because we've lost respect for one another, and left greed overtake us.
Donna this is a very beautiful prayer/poem.

Words truly spoken - scary that they really are true. I pray for the same - for those suffering to find a way to heal whether it be financial, spiritual or otherwise. A truly excellent write, my friend!

Hello Donna,
This is another one of your finest! It is very powerful and spiritually moving to say the least. You have spoken a lot of truths in this piece and have asked a lot of questions of the One above that I believe a lot of us do as we search for the reasons the world is the way it seems today.Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece with us and keep up the great work.
hugs
Don
