A world away, Donesk, or the city roses?

A world away, Donesk, or the city roses?

A Poem by Liz Alexander

The land across

The ocean

Roses are on

Every street corner

 

Coming to teach

And to touch the hearts

Of children

And teens

 

Building relationships

With people, children, and kids

Our translators

With God in mind

 

The city of Roses

Have made many

Fall in love

With Children,

Friends, sisters, and brothers

In christ

 

This place

Has given each something

We crave for a year

or more

 

Till we can

Join agian

With our brothers and sisters

In christ

 

For some it is

A teeter toter of death

Some Hot Chocolate

Cherry Juice

Or Cherries on a Cherry Tree

 

Friends we had made

In past yThe ears

Kids we taught

Or just love...

 

This City has a Futball Staduim

Bus and Taxi Rides

Park of art works

Amusement park

 

Words of Encouragement

Are past to one another

While we worship

In one another prescence

 

Bread has been broken

In fellowship with one another

A bond of a Savior

The same blood

Runs through our veins

 

Days and Days

Spent together

When we finally say goodbye

Tearfull partings

 

Memories will appear

In pictures and smiles

People will say things

That they make you flash back

 

To these times

We share

In years to come

 

We always have

The love we shared

In Donesk, Ukraine

 

Life time of friends

Are made in these few weeks

No lanuage barrier

Can keep this love away

 

This love

Keeps ups returning

Every year

So our hearts

Can touch and be touched

By our loved ones here.

Thank you For your comment.
This is a good idea; you've got a few spelling errors throughout. I agree with previous comments, "Danesk" would be a good title.

I like the positive feel of this poem. I had to read the poem a few time to be able to enjoy all the powerful description.
"Bread has been broken
In fellowship with one another
A bond of a Savior
The same blood
Runs through our veins"
Thank you the beautiful and outstanding poem.
