We pray for Ishmael, We pray for Isaac

We breathe once again
we are thankful for the silence
the rockets not flying
calm in the streets

We pray for Ishmael,
we pray for Isaac
that the brothers’ descendants
would truly know peace

announcement of a cease fire
between Gaza (Hamas) and Israel
&
the tragedy of the fighting in Gaza and Israel
and the source of the conflict
in the division of Ishmael and Isaac
the sons of Abraham
