A #prayer for #Ukraine – v3

A year of great loss has just ended,
pain expanding, relentless, bombings
so much precious destroyed, chaos,
so many lives lost, so much damage,
in Russia’s war of terror, genocide…
 
A prayer for Ukraine, this moment,
a new year just beginning, praying,
that the tide will turn for them, quickly,
rising from their ashes, the rubble,
that their victory will come soon…
 
A year of life rising from ashes,
healing, renewal, life beginning,
restoration of their nation, their people
a just and lasting peace will rise for them,
a prayer that Russia will be defeated…
 
A prayer for Ukraine, this moment,
for their help, the allies stronger,
that support will continue, greater.
that victory will come ever quicker,
for these good and brave people…
