Pray For The World To Heal - Easter Prayer 2018! Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

Pray for those who in their hearts despair,
pray for those who in their own land have lost
their homes and loved ones,
pray for those children and families who face
starvation and famine and have no food to feed themselves,
pray for those mothers who have no milk to nurse their young ones
pray for those who have taken refuge in other countries
and never returned to their homeland for years,
pray for those who have lost their sons and daughters
in wars and bombing, terrorism and destruction,
pray for those fathers and mothers who weep for their lost children,
pray for those who have lost their parents and siblings
due to rage and revenge, hostility and insanity of gunmen
who made innocents lose their lives in schools and concert halls;
pray for everyone who grieves without deserving
the sorrow they encounter when death has taken its step
in their direction while walking on the pavements not sensing danger
that someone will drive their vehicle and
deliberately kill their loved one,
pray for those who in silence of debris sleeps in fear of explosions
and awaits his end holding close to his bosom his wife and children,
pray that this world stops sorrowing, fighting, killing
and moves on to healing, protecting and saving one another,
pray, pray, just pray for reconciliation of peace everywhere.
