Bereaved
www.facebook.com/WRRPoetry [Bereaved]
For the families of those that died in man’s acts of violence,
I offer to you my deepest condolences.

I see on your faces as tears suffuse;
What a shock it must have been, when came the news.

The misfortune is great, plotted by evil hands;
Yet there’s a reason that only God understands.

Let not your bleeding tears drown your trust in Him,
But love and hope should fill your hearts to the brim.

Love – to forgive and your broken-hearts amend.
Hope – that this savagery soon will end;

That your anguish will be o’er,
And in grief, shall you not shiver.

You’ll be strengthened to endure,
Forget, laugh, remember… but feel your pains no more…

*Dedicated to the families of those murdered by the Boko Haram terrorist group…
