Peace Prayer

With war torn faces
And shattered graces
My mind races, to end it all
For the mothers whose children were buried
The same ones that they carried
Oh not so long ago
For the Father’s who watched
Their sons become men
Only to see their young lives end
For all of the children
That were left behind
A sign of the violence of our time
This is my prayer, for those alive and dead
To always remember,
Everyone’s blood is red
It all spills the same
It all causes pain
I pray for peace, so we might live again
I pray for peace
I pray for peace
Amen
