A Prayer for An
End to the War in Syria
I pray for an
end to the war in Syria.
I pray that the
Syrians, their sand, and the Syrian stone,
Witness to such
great evil and great love,
Will once more
return to calm
So that the
Syrian people,
Will be able to
return to lives--
Not of peace and
quiet--
For that is too
big a request for a simple prayer,
But to a life of
pain-free aging,
Aging which will
let the several tribes
Forsake their
hatred.
That is my
prayer.
