So much lost, so
much sacrificed,
lives put on hold, cut short,
blood-filled streets and trenches,
A nation’s prayers buried with them,
in the soil of this land they love…
Flying from
every flagpole,
the flag of Ukraine, their land,
a vast rising sea of blue and yellow,
A nation rising from the ashes of struggle,
striving to meet the new dawn…
Light shining
down upon them,
and glowing within each one of them,
a new birth, in victory, in triumph,
Rising from their black soil,
a nation healed, restored…
Flying from
every flagpole,
the flag of a triumphant Ukraine,
a nation lifted in prayer, together,
Strength is their unity, rising higher,
into the light of a new day…
This is our
humble prayer…
lives put on hold, cut short,
blood-filled streets and trenches,
A nation’s prayers buried with them,
in the soil of this land they love…
the flag of Ukraine, their land,
a vast rising sea of blue and yellow,
A nation rising from the ashes of struggle,
striving to meet the new dawn…
and glowing within each one of them,
a new birth, in victory, in triumph,
Rising from their black soil,
a nation healed, restored…
the flag of a triumphant Ukraine,
a nation lifted in prayer, together,
Strength is their unity, rising higher,
into the light of a new day…

Instagram post by Khrystyna Boychuk:
“Today my blue and yellow flag is stained with the blood of the best sons and daughters of the Ukrainian nation, trampled by the dirty boots of the Russian soldier, covered in mud from explosion in the trenches, carefully folded and hidden from the occupiers in Ukrainian black soil.
