Prayer for Peace 18/2/2024

Today, our Prayer for Peace is a poem by Daria Chebotariova who is 14

We need to hurry up

We were told the war should end 
But it keeps going from day to day.
And we forgot to smile and can’t pretend,
We are surrounded by despair 
And we keep waiting for someone to care.

The towns and villages are ruined at their core, 
As are our hearts and souls.
We forget that every door
Has its own unique lock. 

We still believe in a happy future, 
Where we will live in harmony and peace.
We’ll not forget those who have fallen, 
That’s why we need to hurry up.
