Give Me Peace
Don’t remind me of yesterday
Help me block it from my mind
I saw the devils eyes
Dancing in that fire
Please take me far from here
Where butterflies still fly
Where the sounds I here Is music
not the roar that’s in my ears
Where I see children smiling
And not dying in my arms
A place to lay my head in peace
With my family all around
Don’t remind me of yesterday
Help me block it from my mind
I saw the devils eyes
Dancing in that fire
Please take me far from here
Where butterflies still fly
Where the sounds I here Is music
not the roar that’s in my ears
Where I see children smiling
And not dying in my arms
A place to lay my head in peace
With my family all around

Sometimes I get this way, I hope it does bother you. But I write what I feel. THis is an older one I came across looking for a new one I lost.

I understand what the atrocities of war can look like and it is a sight that I never want to see again and I am sorry that anyone has to see it. -
Very honest and emotional poem. Very well written. Great job expressing yourself. And thanks so much for all you do for us back home. I really appreciate you. All of you over there are in our prayers. Be safe.

This was so heartfelt. I can only imagine what you face each day. My prayers are with you for a safe return to see the smiling children chasing the butterfflies during the day and the fireflies at dusk. Take care, Sandy
