Yesterday, I saw you cry
from the comforts of the window
of my computer screen…
Yesterday, my heart broke
for there was nothing I could do
as I watched your tiny war torn faces…
Your bleeding aches,
so prominently captured
on the 2 minute facebook message.
Yesterday, I sent a prayer for help,
to help you and other innocent children,
innocent people and innocent lives…
for though I can choose to skip this video
when it appears tomorrow…
you are tragically stuck,
in the most tragic of circumstances…
So today I write,
and I hope my words bring peace,
my words spread love,
and my words can be of some comfort…
And though it’s not enough,
I write and I pray,
for you.
