Sadness in Ukraine

a poem by David P Carroll

My heart aches today
And it’s just war and
Sadness all day and
Nobody knows it’s painful

But me, oh yes me
And sadness in our eye’s
As our little children cry
All through the cold dark lonely
Night and snow is falling tonight
And a bitter chill in the air and the
And the worst pain is yet to come

And I want to cry tonight but
I’m holding my baby so tight
And there’s no longer any more
Tears to roll down my sad
Lonely old face and
I’m in a horrible blown up
Place and it’s just war and
Destruction, disaster and hate

And I’ve sat and cried and I’m
Holding my baby so tight as my
Loved ones died tonight
And Lord Jesus Christ
I want to break
Free and move on

But sadness lives on
And we are drowning in a
River of blood and we
Can’t catch our breath
And a lonely tear rolls down
My baby’s face
We are already dead
In this blown up sad lonely place
