A CRY OF VICTIMS OF WAR

-

Lord the Almighty, hear our cry
Tried our best but failed
Tired and worn out from the war-torn
Is life supposed to be like this?
Show us your kindness, watch over us

 The walls are caving in on us
Seems dark and scary
All is becoming dark and unwieldy
Growing close to loosing hope
with no strength left
Nothing more to hold on to

 Lord,  we're your children
Banish all evil and violence in this world
We need this war to end
End the bloodshed , enough is enough
Relieve the sufferings of the innocent victims of war

 Lord,  feels like we're giving up
Seeing the world fall apart
People dying
This war is taking a toll on us
Please save your innocent children

 Today we're crying again, praying for peace
Grant us your protection and care
and someday in the twilight,  we hope to see the light
Someday when this time comes
we will find our victory and an everlasting peace
 Lord the Almighty, see us through

But before I could choose the man I longed for, an old man, known for his cunning ways, snatched one of the stones from my hand and swiftly presented it to the elders. He claimed that I had chosen him as my life partner, insisting that the stone was his proof. The elders believed him without question. A small gathering was held, and it was announced to the community that I had found my life...

THE STONE OF DESTINY

  A Traditional Love Story: Love Rekindled Part 2  The precious stone, the symbol of my love and choice, had fallen from the old man's grasp, and in that moment, I knew I had been given a second chance. I held the stone close to my chest, feeling its warmth, as if it understood my heart’s desire. Without hesitation, I sought out the man I truly loved, the one who had always been in my heart. I found him near the edge of the village, where the hills met the sky. His presence, as always, filled me with a peace I couldn’t describe. With trembling hands, I took the stone and held it out to him. "This," I whispered, "is for you. You are the one I choose." I stood there, holding the stone out to him, my heart pounding with a mixture of fear and hope. For a moment, he didn’t speak. His eyes, dark and full of emotion, searched my face, as though he couldn’t believe what was happening. The breeze stirred the air between us, but everything else seemed to stand still. ...
