started with rain.. evolved into something else.. thoughts?

A gentle rain falls from the sky

I can only wonder why does God cry?

Could it for the soldiers lost to war?

Maybe be for their mother, hearts from their chests torn.

Could it be for the orphans they leave behind?

I cannot imagine how tormented their young minds

 

The rain is replaced by a gentle warm wind

Air dries my tears and carasses my damp skin

The thoughts of our brave sent to a far off land

They fight for our freedom and make us all proud

Please bring back our father, husbands and sons!

You have had them long enough, with them we are not done!

A bit more straightforward than some of your others. Too much war, too many folks not returning,, too much tyranny in the world - I wonder who should resolve it all? Happier days are ahead!
